Quote : | "WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush says his best moment as president was the time he caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass.
During his more than five years in office, Bush has traveled the world's most impressive cities, met with world leaders and entertained celebrities.
But when the German newspaper Bild asked him to name his best and worst moments as president, Bush gave an offbeat answer about the best moment, while giving a more predictable response about his worst.
"The most awful moment was September the 11th, 2001," Bush said, adding that it took time to understand the depth of the terrorist attacks on the United States. "I would say the toughest moment of all was after the whole reality sunk in and I was trying to help the nation understand what was going on, and at the same time, be empathetic for those who had lost lives."
Bush admitted it was not easy to pick a best moment because "I've had a lot of great moments," according to a transcript of the Friday interview released Sunday." |

Quote : | "JIM LEHRER: As we sit here right now, Mr. President, is this the best moment of your presidency?
PRESIDENT CLINTON: Oh, no, I won't say that. I don't know. So many things have happened here at home that have been important to me; passing economic plan, passing the Brady Bill and assault weapons ban, so many things have happened internationally, the role that I was fortunate to be able to play in the peace process in the Middle East and in Northern Ireland, but this could have the biggest long-term positive consequences if we do it right. But frankly, I hadn't, you know -- Sometimes people say "do you feel vindicated?" The answer is no. I think America has been vindicated. I think what we stand for has been vindicated. But keep in mind that there have been times in the past where people win a conflict and then squander the peace. So a lot of our work is still ahead of us. We've gotta get the people home, get the land mines up, work out the details of who is involved in the peacekeeping mission. We have to get this -- We've got to organize police forces and civil government for the Kosovars. And then the really big thing over the long-run, our European friends want to take the lead in this but we ought to help them, we've got to get the World Bank and all these other people involved in a development plan for the Balkans that involves not just Kosovo, but Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and I hope someday Serbia if they have a government that respects freedom and democracy and human rights. So that these people have something pulling them together instead of these ancient ethnic troubles pulling them apart.
Now if we get all that done, it might be perhaps the most satisfying thing because it might prove that people can lay down their hatreds of people who are different. You know, I basically think free people will figure out a way to make the most of their lives and work out their problems if they can get the rules of engagement right. That's why I gave somewhat of an extended answer to what you said about the Republicans. Because, I think, you know, differences are good. Nobody's got the whole truth. But you gotta get the rules of engagement right. And I think what we did in Kosovo was profoundly importan" |

no, because clinton was an absolute embarassment. dont you remember how the rest of the world disrespected us?
or, if thats not to your liking
the rest of the world likes clinton b/c the rest of the world is immoral and doesnt know whats good for the usa.
either way, bill clinton was an embarassment and a disgrace and other negative terms. i should probably throw a hilary insult and a "bubba" in there too, right? 5/8/2006 10:18:15 AM

It's a safe political answer that would have worked well over here, where his image as a simple southerner plays to his advantage. I doubt the Germans feel similarly. 5/8/2006 10:45:55 AM

i dont know many simple southerners whose parents were head of the CIA, Ambassador to China, VP, and President...
i dont know any northerners like that either
think about this, he's still about to hit the prime scandal time. Reagan had Iran-Contra (which was a lot worse than you think, really) in '87. Clinton had Blowjobgate in '98.

if you look at the declining severity from iran contra to blowjobgate
if that same decline exists from clinton's scandal to bush's, well this may be it
