Man I love Bill Clinton. I loved his speech last night. By the end I was screaming at the TV "Why can't you be our king!!!" I think the most important thing he talked about (and he started tearing up when he was talking about it) was that at 9/11 our country all of a sudden was united.

I loved that speech so much I might watch it again tonight : ) I miss Bill alot. I even kind of miss his slimy slipperyness. When he came out last night, all dripping with ego, I thought "What a great leader!"

One of my few internet "friends" has been posting some pretty funny stuff about it:

What would have happened if Gore was president?

We would likely have had Usama Bin Ladin in custody (or dead), & 11 September 2001 would have been just another day.

The day the Bush Regime rolled into Washington, they dismantled Clinton's efforts against al Qaeda, & took their typically weak & lazy approach to hunting down those who had just bombed the USS Cole.

It is very unlikely that Gore would have dismantled Clinton's anti-terrorist initiatives. It is very likely that these initiatives would have kept al Qaeda on the run with their heads down. The initiatives could have even been successful in killing or capturiing Osama bin Ladin

Not only did Bush dismantle the Clinton initiatives (okay, he kept Richard Clarke, but refused to listen to him) Bush decided to make nice with the Taliban (who were "hosting" al Qaeda & Osama bin Ladin). Obviously, this emboldened them.

Also, thanks to the Bush's business connections to the Bin Ladins & the Saudi Royal family, Osama bin Ladin received some much needed funds, an important boost that President Gore would not likely have provided.
