I just don't know what to do with President Clinton's questioning that he may be "the only person in the entire United States of America who likes both George Bush and John Kerry" and chalking up the difference in their respective impact on the country to just different, and presumably both valid, ways of seeing the world. I mean, I may just be wholly jaded by this point but it really does seem that if one has been paying close attention these last four years, as I hope a former President might, I think it'd be difficult to see how you might judge that the President has been a particularly effective, just, able leader who just used a different analytical framework that we might not so much agree with. Then again, this sort of thinking on Clinton's part does help me understand why he thought that this man might be a good person to bring in to restore order to his Presidency when likes got out of hand. (Sorry if I sound a bit worked up, but Clinton's reported advice to Kerry to come out in support of state gay marraige ammendments left me with a little less love for the man.)
