Letter: Clinton deserves praise, not scorn

The Aug. 25 letter by Laura Mitchell in the Las Vegas Sun vehemently attacking President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton and praising President Bush demands a reply.

President Clinton ran our country in a superior manner. Our economy was booming and he made certain that nonmillionaire working, disabled and retired loyal Americans came first and were treated with respect.

It was not twice-duly-elected President Clinton who contaminated an American presidential election or sent our young military men and women into harm's way -- into Iraq in Bush's "all about oil" invasion of a country that had nothing to do with Sept. 11.

And it was not President Clinton who catered only to the wealthiest individuals and huge oil, power and pharmaceutical companies so that they could set the impossibly high prices we are enduring today.

Some Americans should become better informed and should check out their facts before spewing out false partisan nonsense.
