Ex-Presidents Bush, Clinton Play Golf
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - Former Presidents Bush and Clinton teed off Tuesday for a round of golf on the second day of a get-together by the former political foes at Bush's summer home along the Maine coast.

Chatting briefly with reporters near the first tee at Cape Arundel Golf Club, Bush and Clinton said their friendly relationship should demonstrate to people at home and abroad that political rivalries need not stand in the way of personal friendship.

The two former presidents cemented their friendship earlier this year when the current
President Bush appointed them to head up fund-raising to assist victims of the Asian tsunami.

"We found that when we traveled abroad, people said this couldn't have happened in their country. The equivalent of a Republican and a Democrat — this never would happen. Well, it doesn't have to be that way," the elder Bush said.

I think this item just goes to show that there's really no difference between the two parties.

I don't see why your political view should interfere with your regular lifestyle (like who you befriend). I think that's been the point of the USA for the past few decades anyway, proving that we really are a melting pot and nothing (race, gender, religion, etc) should matter, although for a lot of ignorant people, it does. But I think as far as political figures are concerned, if they want the votes and the good publicity, their judgement can't be clouded by stupidity like that (what's with Bush's son....).

Melting pot, psh. We're poor people and rich people.

We're rapidly becoming a nation in which the wealthy elite use the gov't to manage the rest of us.
