I miss Bill allot! He is the best president this country ever had. He managed to create a balance between big business and the American People. He put people first. Did he make mistakes, yes but his legacy will be legendary. The Republicans hate him because he was unstoppable. That's why it too a stain on a dress to get something on him. Was it a set up, you tell me? After all of Kenneth Stars investigations, spending millions of tax payers money, they couldn't charge him with a thing, never mind convict him. In the meantime, think of how much more he would've been able to accomplish had he not been fought tooth and nail in the Senate? I hope Hillery runs in "08". A vote for her is a vote for Bill. Together they can put this country back together after 8 years of hate, fear and greed. Restore the respect we've lost in the World. And maybe take care of the debt that had already balanced 8 years ago. Republicans always say that Democrats raise taxes. Well, they have to clean up and pay for all the debt the Republicans leave behind. They spend, spend, spend and then leave the bills for someone else to pay.

Yes and no. I miss him because he is one of the few Democrats who has a very good grasp on Economic Policy, and was someone who had no problems cutting needed deals with Republicans in order to get good laws passed. The kind of qualifications that resulted in an incumbent US Senator being purged in Democratic primaries in Connecticut recently. The reason I don't miss him is because he was unquestionably one of the most dishonest Presidents we ever had. If he had been honest enough to admit that virtually all of his administrations successes were bipartisan in nature, and give the Republicans anything near the credit they deserved, he never would have been impeached.

What happened was one of the most crooked elections in history in 2000 which saw the Texas Bozo's brother, the Florida Bozo, steal the election for him. Things were so great under Bill and would have been great under Al as well, but the election got hijacked. For the sake of this country, let's hope people are smart enough to vote Democratic this Fall and in 2008.

If you are speaking of Bill Clinton, the answer is YES!! H maybe wasn't perfect. but he cared about people in the United States and around the world. Unlike Bush who's only thought about people is how much better he would have it without those wh he feels are less than him. Most of us scored better on our college entry exams, and didn't get everything handed to us by daddy.
For those of you who feel that he left a mess, Bush has perfected leaving a mess. We have a huge national debt, we are disliked globally, we have 2 countries (at this time) outside of our own to clean up......

I liked him. He did a lot for this country, despite his affair that was nobody's business, but his and his wifes. Unfortunately we have term limits, and that is why the future looks so dismal. All you have to do is look at the state of the nation under gwb. Hopefully the next person elected to office can fix the mistakes that gwb has made.

The American people should miss the fact that they did not owe half the world over three trillion dollars. Even though he was tricked into getting a little head on the side like almost any warmblooded horney man, it should not have been held against him. After all, he did save the American people a lot of money....

Under Bill:
The growth rate of the ecomony was less when he left office than when he went in. The last part of his presidency was a recession.
Terrorism grew. Clinton had a chance to get Osama but didn't take up the offer. When he pulled out of Somolia ( Black Hawk Down ) it showed Osama that we were a paper dragon who would pull out when shown alittle force. He said so in an interview. Clinton's former advicer, Dick Morris, who is a liberal, tells of how Clinton cared very little about terrorism.
But he was a charming guy who could make you think he cared for you and was wise.
