Dear Congressman,
I read an article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/08/AR2007070800391.html)in the Washington post regarding the Scooter Libby Commutation. In that article it quoted you as saying, “I think we’ll put up the record of the president versus the record of Bill Clinton, and the president will come out relatively good on that,”
I’m disappointed as citizen that you as a law maker are comparing the sins of one President to the sins of another. What Bill Clinton did was wrong then and it is wrong now.
What has our country come to when we rely on the past performance of Presidents to be the benchmark of current ones?
Shouldn’t past, present and future Presidents be benchmarked to how they obey and uphold the constitution and our country’s laws? Well? You are being dishonest when you compare an unjust with an unjust. It cheapens your seat and is yet another reason why independents like myself continue to hold you and your colleagues in such disdain.
I expect better from you sir than to play the, “oh yeah, well Bill Clinton did it too game.”
Sincerely,
The Donviti
