I dont feel sorry for anyone who got ripped off by paying $280.00 to see this POS. If they are that stupid they deserve to be ripped off.

Now even folks like us gotta admit that doing a book tour and gettting people to pay inflated prices for your book is pretty cool. Doing the trip on the taxpayer's dime is really good planning.

He was never really the "I feel your pain" president. He was the "grope till it hurts" president.

"$280 grip and grin . . ."
Is that woman (Ms. Lewinsky) acting as publicist on this tour?

Because HE CAN...
Nobody seems bothered, only some little, powerless taxpayers.
Oh boy, I am not young enough to survive this guy and have a few clintonless quiet years at the end of my life.
