Do you think Bill Clinton did a good job as President?

Question

Do you think competence and ability count in electing leaders, or should it be based just on a candidate's professed religion?

Answer 1

YES Bill Clinton did a way better Job than that crock of a man we have sitting in the whitehouse today. Clinton didnt go off rushing into a blinded war. The religion means nothing to me. in a way yes it does because i am a christian, but there is a VERY big difference in saying you're something and actually being what you say. Actions speak louder than words.

Answer 2

Clinton was our best President of the last 50 years, but sadly all his accomplishments are overshadowed by that Great Republican Witch Hunt - the Impeachment. So what if he couldn't keep it in his pants, did that effect the way he governed? Of course not!

During the Clinton years we had a booming economy, inflation was down, the budget was balanced, we weren't fighting a war for the oil companies, and we were the envy of the world.

Just a few short years later, this country is in hock to the Chinese for untold billions because of a war that's being waged by a totally incompetent boob who has his head stuck up his butt (insert other 3-letter word here if you wish) so far he should never have to have a colonoscopy - he can see it all by himself!! And because of the current leader of this country, we're no longer respected around the world, but due to some of his pronouncements, America has become the laughingstock of the world.

Here's hoping the American people have enough sense to elect an intelligent person as president in 2008.

Answer 3

Impossible to compare. Clinton had no pressure and a great economy. Bush really got it hard compared to Clinton... You simply have to admit that.

Do I really mean no pressure? Hey, he had time for all kinds of shenanigans on his own terms...

The economy? Hey, there's a lot more than a president involved in a free market capitalist economy. A president's ability to apply pressure is very overrated by the public.

Vote issues, why would you vote religion? That makes no sense, unless you believe in regulating anything beyond the very minimum moral standards of decency. This would include things like abortion, but not women's wear; fundamental versus superficial.

And why ask what can such-and-such do for me, that's the completely wrong view of government.

Answer 4

What do competence and ability have to do with Bill Clinton? He failed to secure a peace between Israel and Palestine. He created the the phrase "is is" and single handedly brought the concept of blow jobs to every school age child in the USA and totally changed our society for the worse. HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE. The man is scum.

I did like what he did in Yugoslavia ...something Europe should have taken care of since it was LITERALLY in their own back yard.

Answer 5

I have nothing against religion but competence and ability should count for more.
Yes, Bill did do a good job and left us with a huge surplus.
That has been demolished now however.

Answer 6

Clinton did a great job compared to the current idiot. Just think how much he could have accomplished if the right wasn't hell-bent one hanging him for something, anything. Eventually they got there chuck of fat by asking him a question that anybody should have a right to lie about, a consensual relationship between two adults.

Answer 7

MOST definitely yes. As the saying goes, "Clinton lied - no one died, Bush lied - thousands died"

Religion shouldn't play a part in selecting the President of our country. And any president pandering to the "Christian" vote (does anyone think I mean Bush??) instead of addressing the issues that matter to us shouldn't be in office. What in the heck has BUSH done that's good for us?

Answer 8

She could be stupid to no longer use his obtrusive abilities. It only isn't a cabinet place as a results of regulation yet they the two communicate approximately him being an envoy to the international and it makes various sense. he's properly respected and properly enjoyed around the realm and he would be a boon to us in concerns of international kin. And it actual serves to go off yet another functional undertaking she could have. there will be human beings, only like there are actually, who have self belief she will especially be repeating his Presidency and supply her no credit for her own concepts and political intensity. To have him energetic someplace else as properly constantly at her component in the time of her Presidency will serve to help negate that assumption. in spite of the indisputable fact that i could think of it won't take long into her Presidency to work out she is completely able to forming her own good legacy. EDIT: A boatload of conservatives who can upload no longer something yet stupid jokes approximately interns? You adult adult males are only so deep lol.

Answer 9

clinton was an excellant president... who had our economy right on track. five minutes after taking office bush ruined it. clinton was intelligent.. and his side kick hillary was fantastic as well. the media zoomed in on clinton from day one... and if you look hard enough you will find it. as far as unfaithful..that is mrs.clintons business.. and although i am not for cheating ..believe me he was not the first.. just caught and media decided to spread the word. in old days..things like that werent released. but that again is hillarys problem and she is still with him. bushes daddy seems to like the guy... they have made a great team. sure young bush hates that. anyway... i would vote for bill again.. bush can claim he is a christian..but action speaks louder than words.

Answer 10

Yes. And so did enough other Americans to elect him twice. No state courts, not poling issues. Enough said.

Half the people who will answer this question were still in junior high, picking pimples and not even driving cars yet. So their opinions don't count.
