I am adding my voice to a lot of other people in the world and say we are
really missing you.
"All in all, as I look at the economy, I miss President Bill Clinton. Mr.
Clinton had egregious personal failings, and I deplored what I felt was his
dishonesty. But as a steward of the economy, he combined fiscal conservatism
with a willingness to stand against protectionism. No leader today, Democrat
or Republican, is so forthright about the economy, and it's sad to see
Democrats retreating from free trade.
Compared with Mr. Bush, John Kerry and most other Democratic presidential
candidates are paragons of responsibility - but only compared with Mr. Bush.
The reality is that promises by Democrats like Mr. Kerry to start new health
care programs, keep some of the tax cuts and restore black ink are nonsense.
But it's less nonsense to say 2 + 2 = 5 (Mr. Kerry) than to say 2 + 2 = 22
(Mr. Bush).
Mr. Clinton lied about sex, and he was sleazy in other respects as well, but
he was willing to tell America the unpleasant truth about trade and about
budgets. I wish Mr. Bush and his Democratic challengers would be half as
honest with the American public as Mr. Clinton was. "
