Giving Bill Props

I don't think Hillary had a thing to do with it, and frankly, neither did Bill Clinton's skill as a diplomat, IMHO. The N. Koreans specified ahead of time that the two young ladies would be released if a "high-level emissary" were to travel to N. Korea. It was all pre-arranged; all he had to do was go there and not screw things up.

I find it funny that the obamy administration imposed restrictions on Clinton but when Senator obamy went to Europe he talked and acted like the President....hmmm seems like a double standard. Heck why would anyone be surprised by that?

Not a double standard at all. We don't have diplomatic relations with North Korea. They're a communist dictatorship that has threatened war against us more than once. Sending the former President as an official representative would be a huge diplomatic blunder. I think I remember the incident you're talking about, and Obama may have been out of line in Europe, but that's one line he didn't cross. He wasn't over there hanging out with dictators who have recently been test-firing missiles in our direction.

It was reported that while in office, Bill had sent KJI an informal letter of condolance when his father died. It seems one simple act of kindness and courtesy was repaid with another.

I'll bet that philosophy will work great with all the radicals too,won't it?
Good Lord,let's just give them all Nukes and see what happens.I only hope all the Lib UN Lovin' wussies get blasted before I do.

There was some question as to why the specific request for Bill Clinton was made. This information was posted on the wire service. I don't recall offering this info. as philosophy, or the discussion of anything else but the happy ending of having these two young women released. Kindness, courtesy, and manners are the foundation of humanity. (Ever read a Bible?)

I have read a Bible and I don't recall it advocating traveling to a foreign country and breaking the law! What chapter and verse was that in again?

Yes,I've read the bible from cover to cover at least 3 times,never saw the part where it said Ol' Bill should cheat on Hillary with his interns or take a hit and not inhale though.
I'd say if you want to reference a religous book and the Obama administration,you would be better off using the Koran/Qu'ran.
