Showing Original Post only (View all)Katie Couric 1992: Lingering questions about Bill's character and trustworthiness [View all]
Does anyone else think that the line of questioning at all sounds familiar?And we all know how that turned out eight years after we made the right choice in electing Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton interview. The same woman we see today, concerned about our families and being dogged by petty questions that all proved to be dead wrong.
Mr. Wizard, tell us again what we would have missed if we had not elected Bill Clinton to be America's 42nd POTUS.

And Mr. Wizard, based on that, what does your crystal ball tell us what a Hillary Clinton election would mean for America? Should we listen to a few idiots who try to discourage us from getting everyone we know to enthusiastically vote for Mrs. Clinton, the same one who was so active in the first Clinton presidency or should we vote for the totally unqualified misogynist who will probably start WWIII?
Gee, I wonder!
