As I sat and watched Chris Wallace's interview with former President Clinton Sunday night I was astounded, not because of the content of his answers but because nothing has changed. Even after being caught lying under oath while still President, Mr. Clinton continues to point his finger and lie to the American public. Don't get me wrong. I am not privy to NSA or DOD info but there has been enough information made public about his failure to get bin Laden to fill one section of a book store.
I vividly remember watching the former President lie to all of us as he pointed his finger and told us that he did not have sex with "that woman". Maybe, because I am a woman I knew the moment those words left his mouth that he was lying through his teeth. He could have saved his family and his country many, many months of aggravation and $$$$$$$$ if he had only told the truth in the beginning. If, initially, he had admitted to the Lewinsky affair it probably would have gone away in short order. After all, we Americans have short memories.
Nothing has changed and he certainly has not. That is why I knew when he pointed his finger at Chris Wallace he was once again lying to save his own skin. I am not sure if he is emotionally immature, a pathological liar or has a more serious condition and, at this point, I don't really care. I do care that he still continues to put his own welfare above ours. A nice apology would have been in order. For instance, if he had said that he was sorry if he or anyone in his administration had not done enough and stop there; but he did not. He decided to use the same old playbook and blame the "vast right wing conspiracy". Since I consider myself a proud member of that same conspiracy I was deeply offended.
As a compassionate Conservative I am sorry that he thinks he must do or say anything to save himself but, having said that, I don't want him near any person, place or thing at any time where he can do any further damage to this nation. I wish him the best and may he and the Mrs. enjoy life as far away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as possible.
