Brice,

the truth is: When Bill Clinton was President I did not live in this 
country. Now I do, pay my taxes and have a right for my own opinion.
Your answers clearly showed your bias even if you say you don't.

What business is it of congress who sleeps with who?
Next thing, the NSA will install cameras and microphones in each bedroom 
and motel-room. an Al-Queda member could hide there.

Poll: Clinton more honest than Bush
How bad has it gotten for President Bush? Bad enough that in the eyes of 
many Americans his predecessor, President Clinton, is looking better.

Our CNN poll, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, asked people to 
compare the last two Presidents.

Which President do people think did a better job on the economy? The public 
picked Clinton by a mile -- 63 to 26 percent. For many Americans, the 1990s 
were boom years. "When he was President," a woman told us, "My business did 
well and I made a lot of money. I kind of miss that."

Who related better to problems affecting ordinary Americans? No contest -- 
Clinton over Bush, 62 to 25 percent. Clinton felt your pain. Clinton also 
raised taxes. Bush cut taxes. Who wins on that one? Surprise! Clinton, 51 
to 35 percent on taxes. 

After 9/11, national security became Bush's strongest issue. And now? 
People think Clinton was better on national security by a nose -- 46 to 42 
percent. What happened? One word: Iraq.

Now for a tough test -- character. The character issue was crucial for 
Bush, who campaigned in 2000 on this promise: "When I put my hand on the 
Bible, I will swear not only to uphold the laws of the land, I will swear 
to uphold the honor and dignity of the office to which I have been elected."

So which President do Americans now consider more honest and trustworthy -- 
the man who said, "I misled people, including even my wife," or the man who 
said, "If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it and 
we'll take the appropriate action"? A close call, but slightly more people 
say Clinton -- 46 to 41 percent. That's right, by a narrow margin, the 
American public now considers Bill Clinton more honest than George W. Bush.

Could Clinton nostalgia be setting in? Many respondents said yes, citing 
the former president's "agenda for peace" and "more social programs for 
those in need." Others talked about the "Clinton nightmare," like the man 
who called Clinton a "womanizing, Elvis-loving, non-inhaling, truth-
shading, abortion-protecting, gay-promoting, war-protesting, gun-hating 
baby boomer." 

Clinton divided the country politically. So did Bush. Who do people think 
divided it more? The answer is Bush, by a big margin -- 59 to 27 percent. 
The public sees President Bush the same way they once saw President 
Clinton -- as a divider, not a uniter.
