I never thought I'd be writing this, but Bill Clinton has been nothing less than stellar this week. Pushing all of the crap aside, like wondering whether he secretly supports McCain so that Hillary can run again in four year, Bill Clinton has spoken of John McCain with respect all week.
There is no question in my mind the President Clinton is backing Barak, but he has demonstrated to the country this week that you don't have to degrade someone just because you do not agree with them politically. He has shown the even-handed integrity that we independents crave, focusing on what he views as McCain's good points instead of tearing him down. He did the same when he spoke about Todd Palin on Greta Van Sustren's show.
Of course this point has been lost on most of the media and they have instead chosen to try to go "National Enquirer" with stories questioning President Clinton's real motivations. It couldn't possibly be that President Clinton understands that constantly attacking political opponents is a net negative for the country, could it? I think it is and I think that President Clinton is patriotic and smart enough to know that this is bad for the country and he knows first-hand how crippling it is trying to govern in such a sesspool of mean spiritedness.
Have a great weekend.
