Reply #23: We had rules back then that prevented the kind of scrutiny that takes place

[The Backlash Cometh]

routinely today. Have you missed the fact that a paradigm shift in American freedom has taken place? Clinton did a better job with his hands tied than Bush did EVEN AFTER 9/11. The man had the power to personally probe each one of us, and he still couldn't get bin Laden. He didn't even make it a priority.

The two presidents are not even in the same league when it comes to comparisons. Clinton did better with less, and Bush showed that even with the entire military and national guard at his disposal, and our constitution shredded, he couldn't keep his eye on the goal. That should tell you all you need to know.
