   Hello Bob,   
      
   >RW>Agreed, i consider the clinton years a buble that was bound   
   >RW>to burst, sooner or later, and it wasn't that good, but at   
   >RW>least money was moving around, and folks were spending it.   
      
   >LL>I still have the speech to the nation Bill Clinton gave   
   >LL>about the meaning of the word "is".  The man was such a   
   >LL>great debater he could convince his harshest critics he was   
   >LL>right.   
      
   BK>Except for the fact that there was no such speech. That was an   
   BK>exchange before the grand jury.   
      
   Washington DC, 17 August 1998, speech to the nation, on television,   
   after admitting to a grand jury investigation that he had had a   
   relationship with that woman (Monica Lewinsky), a relationship which   
   he had previously seemed to deny.   
      
   By relationship, that did not necessarily mean sex, as Clinton   
   described the relationship as having been "inappropriate."   
      
   Do mark my words carefully - Bill Clinton's entire speech is the   
   definitive definition of what the word "is" is.  And the American   
   people bought it - hook, line and sinker.   
      
   To this day, I consider that speech to be one of the greatest   
   speeches of all time.  A truly masterful performance given by   
   the most popular president in US history.   
      
   >LL>How did Mitt Romney get so fabulously wealthy?  And why is   
   >LL>he using his wealth to steamroll his way to the Republican   
   >LL>nomination? Nobody seems to know what Mitt Romney is all   
   >LL>about.  What is he   
      
   BK>He got rich by screwing working people. He wants to be president   
   BK>because his ego hasn't got much more to reach for.   
      
   Shades of PT Barnum?
