Clinton's successor in the White House, George W. Bush, was committed to expanding government spending for faith-based initiatives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clinton was a president who used his office, in creative ways, to try to reinvigorate the federal government to benefit the majority.
I think the court will determine that the Faith-Based Initiative that the White House has instituted in the last five years is constitutional, in the context of allowing for broad-based programs to include religious providers.
Getting the government to put money into social programs run by religious institutions is a practice that started during the Clinton years, when Bill Clinton advocated the AmeriCorps program.
I think religion played a huge part in Bush's re-election.
We are supposed to believe that every dollar given to a Clinton is a dollar that improves the world. But is it? Clintonworld is a galaxy where personal enrichment and political advancement blend seamlessly, and where a cast of jarringly familiar characters pad their pockets every which way to Sunday.
Whatever you think of George W. Bush, he left office with his faith intact, and I respect that.
What Clinton severed with his welfare reform was the obligation of the federal government to step in when the states failed and to monitor these programs.
Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.
Clinton used to like to get out of the White House a lot. He would take night trips to McDonald's, and stuff like that. I think he wanted to get out of the house.
Under this president, we have a government that has grown too big, too costly and now even more overbearing by forcing religious entities to abandon their beliefs.
