What political party is Hillary Clinton?
Hillary Clinton is a centrist Democrat. But she was not always a Democrat. Her father was a staunch Republican, and that was the party in which she was raised. She followed it until her college years (the mid-to-late 1960s), when she became interested in some of the causes supported by Democrats. She joined the Democratic Party and has been a Democrat ever since.
Who was Bill Clinton's 1st attorney general nominee?
According to the NY Times, his first choice was Zoe Baird but, of course, Janet Reno got the job. There are three other women mentioned in an article who were also in the running.
The expected choice was Brooksley Born. At the time there was a hidden, unregulated financial tool called "Over the Counter Derivatives" that the investment houses were using as a form of margin on the subprime market. This was being used in much the same way as stock speculators were, prior to the Great Depression. Ms. Born took on Allan Greenspan, chairman of the Fed, and his team of analysts who worked to disgrace her and squash her efforts to regulate these dangerous financial products. Oddly enough, Greenspan's team was bipartisan, with Greenspan being from the far right and his minion, Tim Geithner being from the extreme left. In 1999 Ms. Born resigned the minor post that Bill Clinton gave her as a consolation prize (after congressional hearings where her statements fell on deaf ears). In the 2000's these derivatives did eventually destroy the real estate market, and in 2008 Allan Greenspan came out of retirement to appear before Congress where he apologized and admitted that Ms. Born was right and he was completely wrong. As a sidenote, these derivatives remain unregulated, even in the wake of the Wall Street bailout, which would have been an opportune time to impose these regulations.
Is there more to Hillary and Bill Clinton's past other than over 100 million in income now reported?
Probably, yes. Back in the day, the Whitewater funding scandal seemed to be something that they'd have a hard time living down - and there were a lot of other rather shady things that they both were into while he was governor of Arkansas. Do a little checking around and you'll find that there are skeletons ratteling around in their closet.
Who was the only president to be impeached?
Two presidents were impeached: Andrew Johnson and William Clinton (Bill Clinton).
Only one US president resigned and extramarital affairs were not a factor. Bill Clinton was impeached due to evidence of such an affair but was not convicted and did not leave office.
What poem did Maya angelou write for president Clinton's inauguration?
on the pulse of morning:
A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Mark the mastodon.
The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow.
I will give you no hiding place down here.
You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have crouched too long in
The bruising darkness,
Have lain too long
Face down in ignorance.
Your mouths spelling words
Armed for slaughter.
The rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
But do not hide your face.
Across the wall of the world,
A river sings a beautiful song,
Come rest here by my side.
Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more.
Come, clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave to me when I
And the tree and stone were one.
Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your brow
And when you yet knew you still knew nothing.
The river sings and sings on.
There is a true yearning to respond to
The singing river and the wise rock.
So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew,
The African and Native American, the Sioux,
The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek,
The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
The privileged, the homeless, the teacher.
They hear. They all hear
The speaking of the tree.
Today, the first and last of every tree
Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the river.
Plant yourself beside me, here beside the river.
Each of you, descendant of some passed on
Traveler, has been paid for.
You, who gave me my first name,
You Pawnee, Apache and Seneca,
You Cherokee Nation, who rested with me,
Then forced on bloody feet,
Left me to the employment of other seekers--
Desperate for gain, starving for gold.
You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot...
You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru,
Bought, sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
Praying for a dream.
Here, root yourselves beside me.
I am the tree planted by the river,
Which will not be moved.
I, the rock, I the river, I the tree
I am yours--your passages have been paid.
Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
For this bright morning dawning for you.
History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, and if faced with courage,
Need not be lived again.
Lift up your eyes upon
The day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.
Women, children, men,
Take it into the palms of your hands.
Mold it into the shape of your most
Private need. Sculpt it into
The image of your most public self.
Lift up your hearts.
Each new hour holds new chances
For new beginnings.
Do not be wedded forever
To fear, yoked eternally
To brutishness.
The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space to place new steps of change.
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may have the courage
To look up and out upon me,
The rock, the river, the tree, your country.
No less to Midas than the mendicant.
No less to you now than the mastodon then.
Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister's eyes,
Into your brother's face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope
Good morning.

Why didn't Clinton take bin laden when Sudan offered him to America?
The answer to this is simple: Sudan never offered Bin Laden to the United States. They allegedly offered Bin Laden to Saudi Arabia. From the Washington Post (October 3, 2001):
"The government of Sudan, employing a back channel direct from its president to the Central Intelligence Agency, offered in the early spring of 1996 to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries. .
The Clinton administration struggled to find a way to accept the offer in secret contacts that stretched from a meeting at a Rosslyn hotel on March 3, 1996, to a fax that closed the door on the effort 10 weeks later. Unable to persuade the Saudis to accept bin Laden, and lacking a case to indict him in U.S. courts at the time, the Clinton administration finally gave up on the capture.
Sudan expelled bin Laden on May 18, 1996, to Afghanistan. From there, he is thought to have planned and financed the twin embassy bombings of 1998, the near-destruction of the USS Cole a year ago and last month's devastation in New York and Washington. . .
Clinton administration officials maintain emphatically that they had no such option [to accept Bin Laden] in 1996. In the legal, political and intelligence environment of the time, they said, there was no choice but to allow bin Laden to depart Sudan unmolested.
"The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States," said Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, who was deputy national security adviser then. "
"In late 1995, when Bin Ladin was still in Sudan, the State Department and CIA learned that Sudanese officials were discussing with the Saudi government the possibility of expelling Bin Ladin. U.S. Ambassador Timothy Carney encouraged the Sudanese to pursue this course. The Saudis, however, did not want Bin Ladin, giving as their reason revocation of his citizenship. Sudan's minister of defense, Fatih Erwa, has claimed that Sudan offered to hand Bin Ladin over to the United States. The Commission has found no credible evidence this was so. Ambassador Carney had instructions only to push the Sudanese to expel Bin Ladin. Ambassador Carney had no legal basis to ask for more from the Sudanese since, at the time, there was no indictment outstanding." (The 9/11 Commission Report, authorized edition, 109-110).
A tape has circulated in which Clinton addressed a luncheon, during which Clinton said,
"So we tried to be quite aggressive with them [Al Qaeda]. We got -- well, Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
From the 9/11 Commission Report notes:
"President Clinton, in a February 2002 speech to the Long Island Association, said that the United States did not accept the Sudanese offer and take Bin Ladin because there was no indictment. . .But the president told [the Commission] that he had 'misspoken' and was, wrongly, recounting a number of press stories he had read. After reviewing this matter in preparation for his Commission meeting, President Clinton told us that Sudan never offered to turn Bin Ladin over to the United States. . . ." (The 9/11 Commission Report, authorized edition, 480).
