Let me think about this... Nearly a decade of falling crime and unprecedented economic growth, as well as the national deficit being turned around (however shortly...), versus four years of sluggish economics, various wars based on well-known lies, and the inability to travel the world comfortably as an American due to broad global hatred towards us. Yep, I may have to go with Clinton on this one.

I'd say Clinton, but you're going to get a LOT more Bush votes here in the Religion section... he's pretty much based his presidency on what God has told him to do. (with a little urging from Dick Cheney on the side).
Put it this way... Bush has tripled the deficit, gotten us into a war we still have no chance of winning against an enemy who had never attacked us and broken several constitutional amendments on the way. His only explanation being that as president during wartime he has that right.
All Clinton did was cheat on his wife. It may be a deplorable act, but it didn't affect his presidency, and he did a decent job of leading the country. Decent enough that the majority of America even voted for the personality-less Al Gore to be our next president... too bad for the Electoral College and Dubya's brother being governor of FL where he screwed with the absentee votes.
Oh yeah, someone may want to let Alli know that Bush still has a little under 2 years left in office, yet already he's spent more vacation time than any other president in the history of America.

Clinton. How could anyone look at the state of the US today and think it is better than it was when Clinton was president. And yes, I know 9-11 happened but when it happened we had the support of much of the world but Bush managed to screw that up and get us into a hellish mess. He has ZERO diplomacy skills and has never solved a problem without resorting to threats and violence.

I shudder to think of how President Clinton would have handled the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the following economic meltdown of lying corporate leaders--then the ensuing results of the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. He was not equipped to handle such onslaught of disasters.
It's so difficult to compare because, with all due respect to President Clinton, he had a much easier presidency than President Bush.

Hmm..
-A budget surplus turned into spiraling debt
-Alienating the world and causing millions in other countries to hate us
-An ongoing war started under false pretenses
-Spying on american citizens and our rights being chipped away
-Utter contempt for the environment
Bush was a horrible president.
Clinton was better by far. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
ps. To the poster above me... It is Bush who has set the record on taking more vacation time than any other president in history. Which is pathetic considering all the events that have happened during his term(9-11, war in Iraq, Katrina) Check your facts.

Bush for sure... Though I'm still sickened by his backslide to the left by kow-towing to el presidente Fox... He should've handed Fox his marbles in a doggy bag and closed the border. Bush is only weakly "conservative", and I find this extremely dissapointing. He was, however, "the man for the hour" and has kicked far more terrorist **** than Billary could've dreamed of. Bill would've sent a few fighter jets over to blow up a tent or two in the desert, all the while lighting another Cigar de Monica.

bush and clinton both had their pros and cons, they are just men remember not superheros. as for if we can tell who did better...only time will tell and hopefully all the good and bad of both will be considered before making a judgment. unfortunately most people don't look at the whole or look at it fairly they just listen to the media and make their judgment without researching for the truth or realizing that no president is the sole decision maker....congress/the house/advisors etc. play a more important role in shaping this country than any president...he's just the sacrificial lamb
