Bill Clinton is actually one of the most capable US Presidents in modern times. The whole Monica L ...

Here what I would express ...

Lewinski is part of WESTERN culture. Such culture has no limit(border line) from grass roots to top leaders (Male or female). Lewinski outbreak just being Clinton is a public person. Recently you noticed Bill Cosby. Or Jian Ghomeshi in CBC. Or even just now David Peterson in Parapan American Games. This culture is very normal in Western world.

In American politics the person whom able to handle public votes then win. More money spent to public (votes) more chance to win. Any person could win the game if (s)he has lots of money. Bill Clinton is part of the politic game. By today, in America, keep an eye on Donald Trump. Therefore, money (smart economy) plays very important role in American politics.

When government (say USA) has lots of money she could look after external (say military) and internal (say civil) both. If money constrain she has to make choices (not both anymore). Ford, Bush, Clinton or Obama ..... same. No differences.

Could some one invite Donald to come up and BUY the election outright.  Any one voting for him will give a free night stay in Trump hotel of his/her choice.  I would like a rich jerk be a leader so there is absolutely no need for corruption.

Two more reasons why oil price collapse:
1/ Green energy (solar, wind...)
2/ Autos are now a lot more efficient, more Km/L

IMHO, it is a collusion between US and Saudi, one is to punish Russia (invasion of Ukraine) and Venezuela,  the other is to teach Shite (Iran, Syria, Yemen) Muslim a lesson.  US gain in lower prices and less Shale and Fracking (victim unfortunately) ,   Saudi got too much oil anyway, wants to gain market share from Shale producers.  Green is still a very small portion (except Germany, huge), Auto sales are way up, except limited driving in China due to congestion, smog (no blue sky) and really NOT NEEDED just a status symbol.  Beijing is going to build 5 subway lines in 5 years.  Zero in TO (shame shame Torontonians, no driving before 10am and after 2PM for me on the highway).  Someday electric AND fuel cell cars may take over, not yet though.

Correct. Forgot that one.  Another reason for Saudi, kill Iran.  It causes another 1 Million barrels next year, not yet with no sanction due to nuclear program retreat.

HOT off the press.  Canada is in RECESSION. No inflation.

Canada probably experienced a technical recession in the first half of 2015, and the fact that the No. 1 U.S. export market is in a slump could spell bad news for growth in the world's biggest economy.

Canada's gross domestic product contracted for a second quarter in the three months through June, a Sept. 1 report will show, according to almost all economists in a Bloomberg survey. The economy probably shrank by 1 percent, even worse than the 0.6 percent first-quarter drop.

"When Canada hurts, U.S. exporters do, too," Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas in New York, wrote in an Aug. 27 note to clients titled "Canada (not China) matters more."

Economy-watchers and investors have been spooked by fears of a worse-than-expected Chinese slowdown after the nation devalued its currency Aug. 11 in a surprise move. Yet the direct effects on U.S. trade from slowing Chinese growth and the yuan move are probably fairly contained — far more so than the potential fallout from faltering Canadian demand.  

Canada counts for 19 percent of total U.S. exports, followed by Mexico at 16 percent, each more than double China's 7 percent share. And the Canadian dollar is sliding much faster: It has fallen about 12 percent against the U.S. dollar since the start of the year, while China's yuan has dropped just about 3 percent.

"The Canadian dollar has depreciated sharply against the USD by multiples of what we have seen'' from China, Dwyer wrote.
