Several letter writers have recently taken me to task for my outspoken views about President Clinton -- even going so far as to state I hate the chief executive. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I would never use such a nasty word against anyone -- friend or foe.
I air my views on the self-glorification of the man and the family because: he is the epitome of the photo opportunity; he has never held a nonpolitical job; he has a problem surrounding himself with experts without a past; and he has never had a personal view about anything unless someone tells him he has. Those and many more reasons are behind my not liking the person, even though I respect him for the office he purchased.
