Bill Clinton to visit Columbia, honor Gov. Riley
Former President Bill Clinton will be in Columbia Dec. 17 for an event that honors former S.C. Gov. and former U.S Education Secretary Dick Riley.
The South Carolina New Democrats are hosting the reception and dinner at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
For ticket information, call (803) 252-6820 or visit SCNewDemocrats.org.
I'm sure Big Bill will use the opportunity to talk about how great it will be to return to the scene of the crime, the White House, in 2009 when the presumptive Democratic nominee gets elected. He, who was for the war, before he was for the war, now says he was against the war. He and Hillary may not be joined at the hip, but they sure are joined at the brain. That's why the Democrats need to get smart and nominate Obama.

"Slick" will be right at home when he visits SC in December. Let's give the the "good old boy" a hearty welcome. He disgraced the White House during his tenure and "billary" will do the same if she is elected.

Bill will be coming to SC to continue what Hillary spoke of...that being "the corridor of shame". He'll focus all of SC's education problems on a republican gub'na when if fact his education secretary Dick Riley didn't do a thing to improve education in this state.
Despite having republican gub'nas, SC still has a democrat as education secretary.

Do you know what schools need to be decent? Money.
Who allocates the collected tax revenue to the schools?
The Republican controlled House and Senate of SC.
Blaming the Sec of Education for poor school funding is like blaming General Patreus for not funding the war.
SC GOP clones can try to pass the blame to someone else but the education problem lies with them. The shameful thing is that they know it too.

One has to wonder if ex-president Clinton has ever apologized to former secretary of education Riley for lying to him and other members of the Clinton cabinet about the Lewinsky affair.

One has to wonder if President Bush has ever apologized to former secretary of State Powell for lying to him and other the rest of the US about the Weapons of Mass Destruction, Iraq War, 3800 US troops killed, tens of thousands of US Troops seriously mamed or injured, FEMA & Hurricane Katrina, economic decline and conditions for depression, US Attorney Firings, Record deficits after years of budget surpluses, Walter Reed Hospital, suppression of US civil liberties and privacy, failing to catch Osama Bin Ladden, allowing Al Queda to grow and prosper, ignoring the August PDB "Bin Laden Determined to Attack within United States" one month before September 11th, record oil prices.
Yeah, that Clinton sure messed up. How dare a married man try to keep his affair between his wife and himself and no one else. Who cares about record budget surplusses, prosperity and peace?
Funny, its seems the GOP is more obsessed with Clinton's little-guy than some intern ever was.
