When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

President Clinton is scheduled for heart surgery in a few days -- after the doctors return from their long weekend, I suppose.
I'm sorry he will be sitting out the campaign season, though perhaps he'd had eneough of the Republican slams. (It's amazing how vicious they can be -- were and continue to be.)
I admired Clinton as president
and think he's doing very well as former president, too. As a campaigner, he was inspired by President Kennedy, and as a former chief executive it appears he has been inspired by Jimmy Carter, to date our all-time best ex-president working for world peace and to raise the living stanards of desperately poor people around the world.
Anyone who would like to send Mr. Clinton a get-well message may do so at his website (see the light blue link in a box on the right side of the page), and incidentally read about some of his post-Oval Office efforts. So, unlike ex-Republican presidents who simply enrich themselves, he is working against the third-world AIDS epidemic and other peace and justice initiatives(not that Clinton is not finally making some money, much deserved, in my opinion, after a lifetime of public service, but he's doing some good with it.)
