Ex-President Bill Clinton said Monday that he had to assure world leaders that there was nothing seriously wrong with America after the Congress impeached him in 1998.
"During that time, a lot of world leaders would ask, 'What is going on? Is this serious?'" he told New York magazine.
"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."
Interviewed while traveling in Africa, the ex-president claimed, "Africans saw [my impeachment] for exactly what it was: an abuse of power."
"They got it here," he insisted.
The magazine noted that "seven years later, the ordeal of his impeachment still has a vibrant, ever-present life in Clinton's mind."

The only elected President to EVER to be impeached, and it's just an occasional spasm we have. Not serious at all. Although his party has yet to win a national election since.

Clinton is one of the biggest stains on American history. The kind of stain which cannot be removed.

"only elected president to ever be impeached" Like Clinton, Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate.

Johnson wasn't elected....he became President when Lincoln was assassinated....

Bubba seems to be implying that his actions were particularly understandable to black people.

I prefer the "STAINing" process. As in you STAINED our country forever.

This POS always gave out the line "I'm working hard, everyday, for the American people". I've always wanted to ask him, "Mr. Clinton, when you were working hard for the American people was that during the Lewenski days as well"?
This guy will never stop, he's totally out of his mind. Liberalism is a mental disorder and it should be treated with strong drugs and confinement in an institution, but that institution should never be government!

Rub this in the faces of the useful idiots who argued that Clinton had been humbled and "punished" enough.

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that I periodically shot off eight-ropers." Fixed that for you, Bubba.
