Reply To: Who was the worst President of your lifetime?

As previously stated, the economic prosperity came under the watch of the Republican Congress. And it is Congress, NOT the President, that has the Constitutional power of the purse.

What Slick Willie WAS responsible for, aside for the gross immorality previously alluded to, was allowing Osama bin Laden and al Qaida to build their terrorist network and plan the biggest terror attack on US soil only a few months after Slick Willie left office, all prepared years in advance while Slick Willie was sleeping at the wheel, reducing our military and anti-terrorist resources. Even when bin Laden attacked America in ’98 at our embassy and on a US warship in 2000, Slick Willie couldn’t do anything in response much more than bomb a drug factory in Afghanistan. Which Osama said if that’s all America does when attacked, let’s attack it again much harder – in their homeland itself.
