Oh Bill Clinton, the best Republican president US has had.

Guess what, that's one of the main reasons many people don't want Clinton back. Although it would be lovely to see: Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton..

[TrashMan]

I fail to see your point - Clinton has done an amazing job as president.

[Rictor]

That's highly debatable.

[Janos]

yup, you didn't see it at all

[TrashMan]

Pfft. It's easy to see.

Americas condition before Clinton
Americas condition after Clintons term  <--- USA actually got some foreign respect back
Americas condition after Bush

Here is what we need to do: Close down all our overseas bases, spend all our defense money on developing those portals from Prey, and build them everywhere so we dont need overseas bases Pftt!

Hilary looks so horrible as a candidate.

[Agent_Koopa]

Since I'm not American, and politics confuses me, I figure I'll just wait for the election, then read up on that candidate's policy.

[Turambar]

I sure hope it isn't Hillary for the win.

she's taking money from all the wrong people...

[Janos]

no seriously you still miss the point

Which is?

A) The joke is about Clinton being a Republican-light (which has nothing to do whether he was a successful president or not)
B) It was Bill, not Hillary, Clinton who was a president
C) For many people the entire idea of country's executive order being dominated by two families is repulsive

[Rictor]

Who I'd like to win?
Rudy Guliani

What are you smoking?

I sure hope it isn't Hillary for the win. She's taking money from all the wrong people...

But didn't you hear - the military-industrial complex isn't "the wrong people"! They want to build schools and feed orphans and play with kittens. Ain't that so, Janos?

Rudy Giuliani is asked to count to twelve and he goes
"1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-11-9-11-9-11-9-11"

the thing with Okinawa is actually a fairly controversial issue in Japan, a lot of people want it gone, but a lot of people want it to stay. most of the complaints about it stem from the jurisdictional situation, every now and then there'll be some wingnut solder or just some jackass moron who get's into a jrunken car wreck killing some people or goes out and rapes and/or kills someone and they will fall under the US UCMJ rather than the local Okinawan law, and no mater the outcome the fact that they won't be able to try the individual for crimes committed against them leads to resentment (not to mention the guy getting off a lot). however a lot of people like the income they get from the bases, and some people do consider it good to have the base there as a deterrent (China would probably be the biggest enemy, but a lot of Japan's neighbors still hold a lot of resentment about what they did in WW2)

Wait a second...the Clintons live near my relatives...if Hillary wins they will live in the White House...



...I wanted to talk with Bill!!!


Ah, Rudy Giuliani. Good, good...his Italian surname makes him perfect *runs*

Japan is a prosperous country. If the bases closed down, it's not as if anyone would starve. Most likely the JSDF would either take it over, thereby continuing the revenue to local businesses. or the area would be opened ip to residential/industrial development. And as for Japan's neighbors, which ones are you reffering to (that are hostile)? China's elite class is prospering too much by capitalism to consider war. They've learned the lesson from America and will build a financial empire rather than a military one. I think it's safe to say that China has no interest in provoking a conflict with Japan because of the economic consequences. Their respective heads of state have recently made mutual visits and promised good relations.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of square-jawed young soldiers goose-stepping in formation. On balance, it's actually funnier than it is terrifying.
