That's true. Some will refuse to acknowlege Clinton's effort in the current situation based on their personal disdain for him. That's a simple prejudice.
There's nothing wrong with noting a past POTUS's transgressions. But when one ignores that POTUS's accomplishments in favor of his transgressions, that person loses objectivity. Likewise, if a person completely overlooks a POTUS's transgressions, it is just as wrong as overlooking his accomplishments.
It is not necessary to overlook Clinton's past transgressions to recognize his current accomplishment. Nixon is another example.
Granted that don’t hold Bill Clinton in very high regard
but I did say he was the right man for the job.
Hillary would not have been able to get the release.
Given the little I know of the Korean culture, they would have humiliated and ignored her
because she is a woman.
The North Koreans enjoyed having the former president travel
and beg them for the journalists release.
It was a power move on their part.
They humiliated him once and they did it again.
We see the women’s release as a victory of justice.
They see it as a victory over U.S. power.
A way to demonstrate that they are more powerful that we are.
We're pragmatic; we think the release was the important part.
They are idealog's; the women’s release meant next to nothing to them.
The demonstration of power was the important part.
