Clinton's interview with Chris Wallace on Fox has been all over the news. Personally, I think it was a great interview for Bill. He showed that Democrats still have balls, and pointed out the media biases toward this right wing conservative agenda being pushed down our throat. Guaranteed that next time Rice is interviewed, she will be getting asked why haven't they got Bin Laden and why aren't they doing more about it? I think Clinton also did a great job in pointing out the hypocrisy in his critics who demonize him now for not doing enough to kill Bin Laden.
Can you imagine Bush facing such an interview? He would crumble under the pressure. George never would have even shown up. The interview was another reminder of how bad Bush is compared to his predecessors. Whatever criticism you give Clinton for that interview, I still think he did a heck of a job.
I don't know if Clinton would have debated Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but I know I would be embarrassed for America if Bush accepted that challenge. I think that Clinton would have done a decent job debating Mahmoud. Certainly he would not have arrived under false pretenses like his Fox interview. Even though he was prepared for an attack, I think he would have done better if had been invited to a debate than an interview about the Clinton Global Initiative, that has already raised over $7 Billion this year.
I hope that we don't have to wait too long to see Barack Obama running for President. Being half black and half white is definitely going to be an obstacle for him, even in today's "modern society". However, just having up in the running will raise the bar for the rest of the candidates. Barack has the intelligence you don't expect from a President anymore, with a speaking ability that Reagan would have envied.
