The fact is Clinton's staff did not trash the White House or steal things from it.
I have yet to see any President's performance qualify for canonization. They all have done things that others see as unethical, distasteful, dumb, self-serving or downright cruel. ALL of them have such track records - bar none. To say one has been "nicer" than the other is demonstrating subjective judgment.

With that in mind, as we quote from a book the writer made $1million or more in writing, or hawk the dialogue from a radio-station pundit or television new anchor, let us all realize that those who sell opinions count on the fact that we are too lazy to investigate things for ourselves and rely on their "guidance" as to what is or is not true - and they make good money on our laziness!

How previous administrations have been treated is history, and hopefully we will all be mature and civil as the current one leaves and the new one takes office. That type of "change" would be welcome and refreshing.
