      XPost: alt.drugs.busts, alt.hollywood, uk.politics.misc       XPost: alt.education              During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was       fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,”       indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.              But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top       power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White       House from their days in Arkansas.              After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the       political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to       target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of       Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot       taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also       witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and       Pardongate.              Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by       the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and       obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American       public life and bitterly divided the nation.              In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has       brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among       others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals       emerges almost daily.              Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her       Democrat supporters.              But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton       fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April       revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three       significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe       Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.              Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told       WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince       members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as       the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky       idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in       the ring.              Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said       Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the       “cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”              Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her       husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her       campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems       to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us       from the core issues of the moment.”              Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a       time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.              “I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we       are asked to make a transition from the past into this new       future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our       time that we really – the American people are not at a point now       where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding       the political process,” he said.              In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton       scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary       law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.              Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your       whole credibility is being questioned?”              Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara,       because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”              With Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught       up in the lies and spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own       Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and       humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her       hypocrisy              With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency       looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary       “drama” in the White House?              If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior       is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals       involving Hillary is in order.              3) Looting the White House              WHITE HOUSE-300When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue       in 2001, they reportedly vandalized and looted the White House.       Hillary tried to ship furniture to the Clintons’ personal home       in Chappaqua, New York. The Clintons came under fire when they       reportedly tried to take $190,000 in gifts and furnishings from       the presidential mansion. Additionally, the General Accounting       Office, an investigative arm of Congress, reported that ”damage,       theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House       complex” during the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to       George W. Bush – including the theft of a presidential seal.       According to the General Accounting Office, the cost of the       White House vandalism reached about $14,000 and included $4,850       to replace computer keyboards with damaged or missing “W” keys.       The agency said some of the destruction was intentional,       including glue smeared on desks, broken furniture, offices full       of trash and graffiti in a men’s restroom stall that disparaged       Bush. There were also missing doorknobs, medallions and office       signs.              During their time in the White House, the Clintons also       reportedly auctioned off and sold taxpayer-financed government       goods and services in exchange for political campaign       contributions and personal profit. Among the items sold by the       Clintons, which Judicial Watch uncovered in various lawsuits,       and the media and Congress in their investigations, were: 1)       seats on overseas trade missions; 2) export licenses for high       technology sales to communist China and elsewhere; 3)       commissionerships and judgeships; 4) rides on Air Force One; 5)       overnight stays in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom; 6) graves       at Arlington Cemetery; 7) meetings with key Clinton-Gore       administration leaders; and other favors.              Sounds like Obama and Nancy Pelosi.                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
