Slick Willie Strikes Again
Just as I'm wondering what on earth to blog about, I see former president Clinton has decided to he's got something to say. It seems Time has listed him as someone they feel is responsible for the current economic situation. While I haven't studied the list in great depth, I have looked it over. It's clear to see that even higher on the list are not only Greenspan and former president Bush, but also the American consumer.
Consumers are listed because as everyone knows Americans like to live beyond their means. Let's face facts, we all do it at somepoint or another and to some degree or another. Did we need that new home theater system we bought a few weeks ago? Not really, but we bought it anyway. Granted we did go with a cheap and small one from Walmart, but in the grand scheme of things it could have waited. That being said, yes I can see why the consumer should be on the list.
Does Clinton feel he should be on the list? In a word, no.
What I'd like to know is how on earth anyone who's ever been president can say that they're not somewhat responsible for the way the economy is at that given time? Lord knows that if things were going well right now, Clinton would be the first to say it was all because he'd laid the foundation for it while he was in office. However, isn't that's not the way things are going, he feels he needs to be the first to point out that in his opinion it's not his fault.
Former Mr President, I'd like to say you're wrong. Put your big boy pants on and deal with it. You're just as much to blame as the rest of us.
