Remember this:
On Jan. 26, 1998, at a Roosevelt Room announcement of a new education initiative, nobody asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. Nobody put him on the spot. But he brought up the topic anyway: “I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time — never. These allegations are false.†It was a coldly calculated, finger-wagging lie.
Ten years ago today, Bill Clinton lied to the American people about his affair with Monica. And today, he lies about Obama and that has caused a lot of Democrats to wonder if they want Bill back:
What resulted from the lie was a yearlong impeachment battle that would lastingly poison the American political system. It should make Americans wary of letting Bill Clinton anywhere near the White House ever again.
Clinton’s lies about Obama this week show that he has not changed one bit. Former Clinton aide Gregory Craig, who was at his side during most of the Lewinsky scandal, now is an adviser for Obama. This week, he put it best about the man he knows so well: “Events raise the question, if Hillary’s campaign can’t control Bill, whether Hillary’s White House could.â€
It is a two-for-one deal. Do you want Slick Willie back in the White House?
