Keukasmallies Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 This speaks for itself. January 21 1. Outgoing President George W. Bush quietly boards his helicopter and leaves for Texas, commenting only: "Today is not about me. Today is a historical day for our nation and people." Eight years ago: 1. Outgoing President Bill Clinton schedules two separate radio addresses to the nation, and organizes a public farewell speech/ rally in downtown Washington D.C. scheduled to directly conflict with incoming President Bush's inauguration ceremony. January 21 2. President Bush leaves office without issuing a single Presidential pardon, only granting a commutation of sentence to two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting a convicted drug smuggler. He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner. Eight years ago: 2. President Clinton issues 140 pardons and several commutations of sentence on his final day in office. Included in these are: billionaire financier, convicted tax evader, and leading Democratic campaign contributor Marc Rich; Whitewater scandal figure Susan McDougal; Congressional Post Office Scandal figure and former Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; convicted bank fraud, sexual assault and child porn perpetrator and former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds; and convicted drug felon Roger Clinton, the President's half-brother. January 21: 3. The Bush daughters leave gift baskets in the White House bedrooms for the Obama daughters, containing flowers, candy, stuffed animals, DVD's and CD's, and heartfelt notes of encouragement and advice for the young girls on how to prepare for their new lives in the White House. Eight years ago: 3. Clinton and Gore staffers rip computer wires and electrical outlets from the White House walls, stuff piles of notebook papers into the White House toilets, systematically remove the letter "W" from every computer key-pad in the entire White House, and damage several thousand dollars worth of furniture in the White House master bedroom. Headlines On This Date 4 Years Ago: "Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops Die in unarmored Humvees" "Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times" "Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, Ordinary Americans get the shaft" Headlines January 21, 2009: "Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $170 million" "Obama Spends $170 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party" "Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate" "Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry though, I won't hold you responsible since it's obvious you just copy-and-pasted this from another site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Come on.. you can't blame Obama that 10 times as many people wanted to see his inauguration than did Bush. Outside of that, I hate Clinton as much as you, so ... I guess if you want to trash him.. go ahead. I think it's old news though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Sorry, DC Tom, sometimes a guy just gets the itch.... Very nice. Some people don't want their icon besmirched in any way. Don't want facts to get in the way of their dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush quietly boards his helicopter and leaves for Texas, commenting only: "Today is not about me. Today is a historical day for our nation and people." And what exactly, should President Bush have said to sum up his presidency? Given the current state of affairs, I think he did exactly the right thing.
