I am really hoping this is a time in our American politics when we get past partisanship and move toward working together to heal our nation! Economically we are bleeding, our education system is failing our children, our health care is failing our children, the poor, and the aged. It is time to get together and go forward not falling for the divisive distractions,but falling into a partnership together! KSuzanne from San Leandro, CA Thank you Leslie!

I am glad that the disclosure statements partially prepared me for the bias expressed in your article. But, even so you are over the top with vitriolic Clinton-bashing. The "man" as you call him, President Clinton was almost impeached and hung out to dry with graphic descriptions of his illicit sexual activity, and is still seen as one of the most effective presidents we have had in this country. You do mention begrudgingly that his funraising does often benefit "worthy causes". Are these sour grapes speaking? How does this compare to bankrupting our country by going to war and having friends' corporations rake in the profits at the expense of our sons and daughters? Discussing ethics like the Republicans are the sole defenders of righteousness is an affront to all of us struggling in the wake of YOUR party's squandering of the previous prosperity. Ask anyone still scrambling for basic food and shelter in New Orleans what they think of the ethics of the past administration. Opinion is one thing, but shame on you and CNN for publishing such blatant, well you know. Where has the journalism gone? While there are issues here to be investigated, facts instead of predjudice would be nice. Please Ms. Sanchez,

You have identified a non existent and POTENTIAL only POSSIBLE issue. Like it or not sir, governments have to deal with the people in POWER, and Bill will not be there. If he publicly or privately steps out of line in future Obama can squash them both by syaing that is not the policy of this government and fir Hilary if necessary. ( Very unlikely events in both cases). So alex here here you are right produce the evidence ( not UNFOUNDEDsuggestion or innuendo first and then let the punishment fit the crime if any. Meanwhile Leslie he has been doing this for 8 years already and I have not heard anything about this so called "Influence" on Bush policy. Also Hilary ran for Presidential nomination let alone Sec of state. This is pure total unadulterated media speculation at its worst. It is certainly not news or a viable discussion at this time. At best it is gossip and scurrilous gossip at that! Regards, Hodgson. Contibutor, your comments are nauseating. You have identified a non existent and POTENTIAL only POSSIBLE issue.

It looks like the powers that be are look to start a problem where there isn't one.

Perhaps you forget the conditions of prosperity that most Americans enjoyed during the Clinton Presidency. As a Republican, I listened to your lines leading up to the election and you flatly came up short. You must subscribe to the "Carl Rove Book of Politics" and is further evidence of why the Republicans lost the election and why the Republican Party needs to be rebuilt adn get back to the values of truth, honesty and integrity. Get the goods on someone before you start crying foul. That way nobody can question your motivation. Right now, your motivations are truly suspect! Leslie,
