Clinton's Ego

By now you have probably seen the Bill Clinton interview by Chris Wallace of Fox News. Much has been written about it since but I think this opening paragraph by Andrew Klavan sums it up best:

THERE'S NO LIMIT to what a man can do," President Reagan used to say, "...if he doesn't care who gets the credit."

Former President Clinton's motto seems to be a little different: "There's no limit to how much credit a man can get, if he doesn't care what he's actually done."

Many people have mentioned Reagan not defending himself but I think the better example was Harry Truman. It should be remembered that Truman was followed by 8 years of Eisenhower and Truman had many opportunities to snipe from the sidelines but the man known as "Give 'em hell" Harry remained silent because he knew that to do otherwise was counterproductive and not in the best interests of the country.

Bill Clinton on the other hand is turning into the guest who wouldn't leave and with each interview he gives he's just further tarnishing his Presidency. The man cannot take even the mildest criticism or help keep himself from shall we say "embellishing the truth." History will not be kind to Bill Clinton.
