Calm your self Fizzwizz, If'n Clinton hadn't "tested the waters" so to say, he might just as well go whistle in the wind, as a no policy formulator worth mentioning one term hasbeen, (he was a one termer wasn't he), and like all wise men, look before you leap, think before you act, and if'n acting is all you're good for, you'll be found out pretty damm soon, and no policy you can dream up will wow the crowd if it goes against what they expected from you when you solemly vowed to put state and country before all others, or was that a bit too Socialistic for the average pres nominee to contemplate?
There hasn't been one ruler, president, dictator, king or queen who can truthfully say "I did it my way" and got away with it.
It wasn't Clinton that caused the US of A to stumble in the world financial crash, it was the stupidity and naievity of the "lackland" proletariat coupled with the insatiable greed of the money purveyors that sought to line their pockets by manipulating the system come what may, and "it" did come didn't it, Clinton or no Clinton.
Now 'Ol Bama has the sorry task of shoring up the rotten walls of the banking system with brand shiny new paper promises, (you can't put new patches on old coats), to ensure that the wolves don't get too ambitious and snap at your heels more aggressively once they scent blood.
I expect eventually yo'all will come out of your malaise, but life better not go on as usual, because if'n it do, yo'all be heading for another financial crunch, and maybe next time the Chinese et al will not be so keen to paper their toilets with Greenbacks, having gone down that path before.
Next time they'll want tangible asset transfer, maybe a bit of land here and a bit of land there, you know how it goes, they already own large parts of the US indirectly, with home grown food production being shipped directly back to mainland China, disguised as "exports"...LOL.
