Clinton crush
Here’s a shot I grabbed during Clinton’s visit to Asheville in 2008, when he was campaigning for Hillary. Clinton will be speaking about 12:30 p.m. on Thursday in Pack Square Park, downtown Asheville, to stump for fellow Democrats.

    Hey Jackson…

    Congress was run by the Republicans during the Clinton Administration. That's why we were so prosperous then. You see, the President really has no authority (only leadership, or lack of leadership). And quite frankly, Clinton enjoyed the fruits of Reagan and Bush (Sr.)'s labours. The Democrats have been ruining, I mean running Congress for the past four years… that's why things are so bad now. Well, that and we have an amateur in office who doesn't know how to properly lead the Congress that shares his party.

    I can't remember when the Democracts have ever had so much power and look what they've done in the past two years… nothing but get us deeper in debt. I'm not a Clinton fan, but at least he was wise enough to try working with Newt. Those two alone accomplished a lot during the Clinton years. And then the media persecuted Newt for working together! Yeah… I'm not a Clinton fan… but with his hands tied behind his back, he could still do a much better job than Carter and Obama put together ever did.

    You Democrats would walk off a cliff for each other. Not me, man… if we had a Republican as bad a leader as Obama, I would push him off the cliff before he dragged me down. When are you guys going to realize that socialism doesn't work and that most of us don't want it? I wish you socialists would all move to a desolate area in Russia and create the utopia that you dream. Just remember… you need to take those lazy citizens with you who don't want to work. If you're so dang benevolent, you should be happy to take them and support them too!

    Im looking forward to he President's visit, I think it says a lot about Congressman Shuler that he is able to get Clinton to campaign for him. During Clinton's terms in office this country ran a surplus compared to the disasterous policies of Bush which pushed our economy to near the brink.

    Why would we wnt to return to that? Im going to be joining th President ad supporting Congressman Shuler.
