Post by: headhuntersix on March 26, 2009, 08:22:05 PM: Term 3 started in 1941 and he never really finished term 4 obviously. He was popular and under the circumstances, I would not have voted in another guy. It was a different time then. FDR, regardless of ideology, could not get elected today.

240...that idea, while popular I know, is BS. The media had had enough of the guy and the admin.

I dunno... i remember thanking God in 2000 that Clinton couldn't run again. he would have cleaned Bush's clock. Economy was in good shape (it crashed 2 months after the election on Jan 2, 2001 with the dotcom fall).

yeah, he got a blowjob. but he didn't let 911 happen or lie about wmd like the other guy did.

Post by: headhuntersix on March 26, 2009, 08:39:43 PM: Bush didn't let 9-11 happen and the economy was sliding even if it can be tied to a date 2 months into Bush's term. We in the service were happy to see him go....Clinton had the same intel that Bush had, but I doubt he would have invaded.

okay. that aug 5 memo says otherwise tho. a whole lotta blacked out parts. our allies printed in their newspapers that the info was the names and dates. okay, maybe germany's ambassador lied about that for some reason, who knows.

the economy always falls when a guy leaves office. did it with bush in 92, clinton in 00, and bush in 08. When obama leaves in 12 or 16, we'll see the same thing. Everyone cashes out. Duh.

Guys hit the beach at Normandy because Franklin wanted them to. Guys flew the airplanes because Franklin wanted them to. If anyone else had been president during the lead up to the war and during it, World War Two would have been a cluster-fuck just like Vietnam.
