It is interesting how a 'reporter' knowingly takes things out of context and twist a story and the number of readers who blindly take the reporter's word as truth and went crazy.

No wonder everyone was sold on WMD

Pres. Clinton in Denver, jan 30, 2008


......."Everybody knows that global warming is real," Mr. Clinton said, giving a shout-out to Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize, "but we cannot solve it alone."

"And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada -- the rich counties -- would say, 'OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.' We could do that.

"But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world's fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work.

"And guess what? The only places in the world today in rich countries where you have rising wages and declining inequality are places that have generated more jobs than rich countries because they made a commitment we didn't. They got serious about a clean, efficient, green, independent energy future… If you want that in America, if you want the millions of jobs that will come from it, if you would like to see a new energy trust fund to finance solar energy and wind energy and biomass and responsible bio-fuels and electric hybrid plug-in vehicles that will soon get 100 miles a gallon, if you want every facility in this country to be made maximally energy efficient that will create millions and millions and millions of jobs, vote for her. She'll give it to you. She's got the right energy plan."

"we just have to slow down our economy"

If I were a Republican strategist I would never let this one go.

through their nightmarishly backwards fiscal policy.

Every time they mentioned it, there's an opening to make sure people don't forget who did this to this country.

I don't think that there are many Americans who are interested in a candidate who professes that slowing down the economy is a good thing. I understand the statement and agree with it, but I'm not sure that most people would see it that way.

they fell for Reagan's bullshit... and for Bush's (maybe).

Who knows what most people are thinking... if they even think at all.

Remember the Maine!


I had hoped the last 8 years might have convinced people to start thinking for themselves... alas.

Go Gunners!

the 2-3 paragraphs

I'm not arguing with the merits of what she's saying. I agree with Bill. I do think, however, that Republicans are not above taking things out of context and presenting them to the American public. Most people aren't going to read the whole article and are just going to think that Clinton wants the economy to go down.

It's great. This is the Bill Clinton I've been wanting to hear from. He talks glowingly about the other candidates and is totally positive.

is great--i love to listen to his speeches.
