I just got to meet Bill Clinton :)

[karlsen]

I know this is of topic, so please forgive me for that one, but this is in the off topic area so I guess it is OK.

This week President Clinton was on a visit in Norway, and I got the pleasure to talk to him twice. I am collecting autographs so the first time he signed a picture that I have him and me from last time he was here, and the second time he signed a DVD documentary of "The White House".

I have a scan of the picture up on my autograph website: www.autographsnet.com

It was so cool, he even told me that it was nice to meet me again.

Oh good God.
You're 13. The world's been crappy long before Bush or even Clinton was in office. And if you truly think the economic pitfalls of recent years are soley the fault of GW than I would suggest you do a LOT of background research. Starting with the fact that the economy is not something that turns dramatically in a couple years based on the actions of one man or his administration.

And if you think the world would be any less crappy or hostile for the US in terms of foreign relations and the way we are perceived and targeted then I REALLY suggest you do some research. 9.11 would have happened no matter who was in office. The difference is we had a President in at the time that edcided he was gonna do something about it.

From watching films,it sucked when Ford,Carter(to Republicans),Reagan,and Bush(the first one) were in office.Two words:Blame Nixon!

I SO envy you meeting Bill Clinton. I am a staunch Democrat & a BIG fan. I also collect autographs (mostly sports & a few entertainment but would LOVE to someday meet him & get his signature). He had some personal flaws (who doesn't. And who could withstand a zealot special prosecutor with unlimited time, money and an agenda to get him on SOMETHING). In spite of his personal weaknesses I believe him to be the greatest president of my lifetime. He cleaned up the red ink of the Reagan/Bush1 years (of course in one year of Dubya that became a memory). He's also the last President elected by the people & not his dad's selections to the Supreme Court. I met his dad here in Port Charlotte & got his autograph (which I ebayed) & met Dubya himself (he owned the Rangers at the time). I never got sonny boy's autograph because he was a horrific owner. Anybody here of Sammy Sosa? traded him for a 40 year old DH with bad knees (Harold Baines, showing the judgement he continues now).

Yeah that's pretty cool Karlsen! Good for you! I got to see him once, from a distance though. I went to Washington DC for his second Presidential Inaguration. It was a pretty cool experience, I would like to do it again and I might if it's not too cold.

Right on!!!

Now THAT is concrete evidence of poor decision-making by GW
Maybe he knew Sosa was a corker

Hey,indiana.You have not seen my "Blame Nixon!" post.

[The Lizard King]

It was so cool, he even told me that it was nice to meet me again.

Hopefully, you won't be acquiring any new STAINS on your clothing over these meetings between you and he in the future...

Oh please. To say so kindly, what do you know? Sorry to sound like such a jerk, but when you are in Jr. High, your opinions are formed by either your parents or the liberal media.

By the way, what do Mormons, R ratings or anything else have to do with anything stated?

You can have an opinion, but at least make it an informed one and not one filled with disjointed, rambling, non-connected refrences.

Oh, and for the record, I lived in Kiev during Pres. Clinton's first term. He came to town (to see what a good job Reagan did opening the former USSR). I was given the opportunity to translate english to russian at his speach. I couldn't turn that down fast enough.

I read about it on The Internet Movie Database.Go to the page for "Love Actually (2003)"(the new movie starring Hugh Grant).There is a forum called "R-Rated Christmas Movie"(It is a Christmas movie,after all).There,you will find out the R-rated movies conspiricy.

I just scrolled threw that whole thing... its a bunch of people like ourselves debating. It's not evidence of anything and there was certainly no mention of Mormons in it as you mentioned above and in other posts in the past.

The MPAA is not run by any religious organizations. The purpose of the ratings is to serve as a guide to parents as to the content of movies and which ones would be appropriate to take their children to see.

Wow, this thread has certainly taken a turn for the bizarre!
Congrats on getting to meet Clinton (again), karlsen.
(That was the point of this thread, no? )
That's gotta be pretty exciting...

[wdwleesa]

Congratulations on meeting President Clinton! I, too, am a loyal Democrat and would love to meet President Clinton. I would love to meet Senator Clinton as well as she is a role model of mine. She sent me a very nice personal letter once and I treasure it.

You should feel proud.

Democrats rule!

[2099net]

No, the New World Order rule. Or they will do soon, once their pact with the alien invaders and the underground mothmen is negotiated. Soon those mind control V-Chips in all your televisions will be brainwashing you all - the New World Order are our Masters. All hail the New World Order!

FORMER President Clinton

[karlsen]

If I am not mistaking you can and should titulate him President Clinton still, unless not the current President is present.
