Bill Clinton was always able to pull off the “I’m just a great guy, looking out for you” persona, which wife Hillary is not nearly as good at doing. And you would think that eight years of experience with Bill and the history that it was not true would be send a clear message. But Clinton supporters, then and now, seem to completely overlook any damage done and any problems caused by either one of the Clintons. In the case of Bill, however, he started the economic ball rolling downhill, and eventually the entire nation will lay in pieces as soon as all the money printing an zero interest rates patchwork no longer works to keep us afloat, just as all of history has proven will come to pass.
Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, which for 66 years prevented banks from using insured deposits to take on the risk laden financial activities of Wall Street or to merge with those firms to do so. That helped created the environment for the collapse of Wall Street in 2008.
But Clinton also signed into law the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, which allowed bank holding companies to acquire banks anywhere in the nation, in essence setting up a much vaster opportunity for interstate banking. Then, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 allowed trillions of dollars of OTC derivatives on Wall Street to escape regulation, with all three combining as a recipe for financial disaster.

Even one of their own seems to have turned on them a couple years ago. They used Soros’ running on the bank to force the crash a month before the election to blame Bush and get Obama elected, when McCain was leading in the polls. That is how evil some men are. Should one doubt that they would conveniently murder a Supreme Court Justice? http://hotair.com/archives/2014/12/08/elizabeth-warren-tells-donors-minorities-were-targeted-with-subprime-mortgages/comment-page-1/

Melissa Steele I am a Trump supporter.
However, I am always at odds with incorrect or distorted facts, posters who posted them and casual readers who add no value to the post and posters.
Flaming out, silly name calling and frivolous attempts at “blaming and shaming” other posters only confirms your relative position in the hierarchy of intelligence and common sense.
Many people who may vote in the democratic primary election and the general election in 2016 have no real knowledge of Mrs. Clinton or her accomplishments. As a public service, I thought I would provide some input regarding her triumphs for consideration.
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger voters will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House. Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:
· She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
· She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
· Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
· Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
· After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.
Now we are exposed to: the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal fans – “what difference does it make?”
