PD, you need to check your facts instead of going straight to the "it's a conspiracy". Clinton did take out the short term bonds, knowing that they would come due on the next Pres. I could be wrong, but I don't think that Hilary planned on running for Pres for at least one term after Bill, so he didn't care who the bonds came due on. He just wanted him-self to look good. Every Pres wants to make a lasting good impression on history, it's just the way that they go about trying to do it that bugs me.

Mr. Carrie, I'm sorry, Mrs. Carrie posted nothing worthy of checking facts over. Even if I did "check facts", it's very unlikely I would get them from the same radio frequency or newsletter from Idaho that y'all seem to. Besides, I'm hot on the trail of proving an even more plausible theory - that Elvis is alive and living in Area 51 as Tupac's domestic partner.
I understand that it's a free country and you have the right to believe anything you want - not even the Republican Right has proposed an amendment to abolish stupid (they need the votes). But gimme a break, huh?
If she had limited the allegations to manipulation of the markets to create a boom for political purposes, she might have actually fooled somebody into taking it seriously. She tipped her hand when it went off into the "deliberately wanted his successor to fail" malarkey. That kind of stupidity - like "Bush was behind 9/11", "Johnson assassinated Kennedy", "All liberals are traitors", "all conservatives are fascists" tripe plays well with mindless haters who want an opportunity to say "Amen" to preprogrammed sound bytes that substitute for the thoughts they are either discomforted by (or incapbable of forming).
It also may very well qualify as one of the outright idiotic things I've seen posted on Oprano - and I say that even after Torone* entered the thread.

You don't need to get it from any radio frequency. It is a matter of public record that Pres. Clinton signed for the short term bonds. He isn't a fool, he knew exactly what he was doing. He made a calculated move to boost the economy, and at the same time make himself look better than the next guy, so to speak.
