Re: The President's Legacy Meeting
-----------------------------------------------
1. BACKGROUND:
President Clinton called a meeting, a week ago, to deal with what he feels is a diminishing memory of his Administration's accomplishments. The triggering event was a two-part article in the Washington Post which unfairly suggested that we paid the most minor possible attention to bin Laden, al Qaeda, and terrorism in general.
Unjust attacks by the remaining shards of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy upon The Senator regarding her actions toward The Current Occupant of the White House during the TCO's Joint Session Address have exacerbated this situation.
To that end, this meeting was convened.

2. LESSONS LEARNED:
Former Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson was quoted extensively by Rick Berke of the New York Times with the goal of placing this meeting in its proper context. We had presumed that a story about the President's legacy, would bring forth a chorus of support. The story did not have the desired effect.
In fact, the meeting has caused a surprisingly negative reaction. Berke quoted an unnamed source as saying, "The Clinton hard core [are] not on message." Either the "Clinton hard core" was not properly briefed after the meeting, or - and this is more problematic - the few remaining members of the "Clinton hard core" were IN the meeting.
It was not helpful for Berke to have written that The President felt it necessary to "defend his legacy against criticism on matters including his role in the current recession and his failure to strike a fatal blow against Osama bin Laden or his terrorist network after the embassy bombings in East Africa in 1998." This only served to remind readers that we DID fail to strike a blow - fatal or otherwise - against bin Laden and that the signs of recession (which we so skillfully obfuscated during our last six months in office) WERE, in hindsight, clearly visible.
It was also not helpful for our former National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, to have been quoted as saying, "I feel very uncomfortable talking about these meetings." It will only be a matter of time before some reporter picks up on the phrase "THESE meetingS" sted "THIS meeting" and begins to inquire as to how many of "THESE meetingS" have taken place, their frequency, attendees, assigned tasks, etc. I suspect the holidays have distracted reporters, thus no one has pounced on this error.
3. SALON.COM BLUNDER:
One of our most un-critical support organizations, Salon.com, was not briefed. In a column dated December 20, 2001 - one day AFTER the meeting - Asla Aydintasbas, wrote that former CIA chief James Woolsey (appointed by The President in 1993) was unsuccessful in getting The President to take seriously the terrorist threat.
"Disillusioned by Clinton's disregard for intelligence matters," the article states, "Woolsey left the agency after a brief tenure and returned to civilian life."
Aydintashbas writes Woolsey so "failed to penetrate Clinton's inner circle. after a disturbed man crashed a plane on the White House grounds in 1994, a joke made the rounds in Washington that it was Woolsey trying to get in to see the President." This is not what we need from our friends in the media.
4. VILLAGE VOICE MISCALCULATION:
The CURRENT edition of the "Village Voice" - the Limousine Liberals' Bible - has an article about The Senator and a constituent from the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, Maribel Soto.
Writer Chisun Lee wrote that The Senator and this woman met in NOVEMBER and The Senator suggested they get together to compare political agendas.
According to the Village Voice, "Last week, Soto was still waiting to hear back from Clinton's people, who warned that The Senator could only squeeze Soto in on a Saturday."
We can hold all the meetings we want in Harlem but if The Senator disses Bed-Stuy we will only continue to lose ground.
5. SUMMARY:
Considering this was our break-out week for Legacy Enhancement we did not fare very well. The fault, to paraphrase Shakespeare, is not in our Gingrichs nor in our Starrs, but in ourselves.
That would be a comfort, if Clinton had ever demonstrated any capacity for ambarrassment. But I know that no matter how long he lives, he will always believe that one day history will vindicate him and recognize his brilliant leadership.
I think he knows the truth.
He may or may not--I think he is shameless and delusional. Now his cabint and supporters OTOH, they are a different story. Serves them right...
What accomplishments? He spent all his time and efforts on sex with a Monica something or other.
We need hundreds of hours of each Clinton on tape, lying their asses off. Bubba's prejured testimony, Hillary being booed, the "Pretty in Pink" interview, and clips of Bubba swearing at his underlings. Each will positively ID both for what they are -- Corrupt Phonies.
If history is fair, and I think it will be, Clinton will become for the democrats what Herbert Hoover was for the GOP. Only difference, Clinton will deserve what he gets.
