for absolutely EVERYTHING that goes wrong?
Even though the fact remains that statistically he was known as a great president?
Does it feel good to not let the Neo-conservatives running the country take any responsibility for their actions?
Does it feel good to use Clinton as a scapegoat for everything, even though Bush has been in office for 6 years?
By putting the blame on Clinton every time something goes wrong…does it feel good because it makes Bush seem like less of a moron?

Things Bush could have taken care of for years are not Clinton's fault. You guys are pathetic.
And for the guy that told me to wake up...HE needs to wake up. If you do not know how he helped our nation, you sure are uninformed and cannot possibly call yourself educated in politics.

Messes that Clinton made? What messes? Oooh wait. You mean the $127 billion surplus? Or the great Intelligence system he left for the next president?

You people really asked for it. Now you got it!:
He lies whenever he sees it fit for his political gain...
He gives tax cuts to the rich while the middle-class suffers...
He supports big business to boost the economy while the middle-class cost of living goes up through the roof...
He raises the deficit by more than $half a trillion...
He won't let any Democrat have a voice in Congress...
He deteriorates our national image around the world frequently...
He deteriorates our national image with the UN...
He does not respect the Constitution...
He violated the FISA and spied on the American people...
He lets his buddies dominate the separation of powers...
He has not tried to find Bin Laden again until recently...

The Clinton years had less unemployment (unless you count the people nowadays who are forced to get jobs with the raised cost of living), a bursting-through-the-roof economy, higher morals and ethics (the bj is nothing compared to Bush's "values"), an aggressive anti-terror Intelligence campaign (although not a perfect one), a reduced deficit and balanced budget, a higher approval rating, a higher standard of living for the middle class, more respect for the Constitution, greater support from many other countries, and a net profit surplus of $127 billion.
The Bush years has had more unemployment, a lower standard of living for the middle-class, a lower approval rating, a communist-style economy (because it is only supported by big business and the govt), a president who spies on his own people and violates international law, also an aggressive anti-terror campaign (one that is failing miserably), and a HUGE disapproval from all around the world.

Its a scapegoat, there only defense. Never will they admit things like when Clinton wanted to go after Bin Laden, but the GOP on the hill stopped him saying it was "wag the dog".
In any argument they make, they cannot admit being wrong or making a poor choice, they simply smear the other side. That to me is the biggest differences right now between the two parties. How can you carry on a debate when they just smear you?

MAN people responding to this question are ruthless and not to mention retarded! Clint went into office and everything was already there on a silver platter? BS! He lied under oath yes he did. But Kennedy was banging Marylin Monroe in front of everyones face. why the double standard? Kennedy was a great president should we retract those things since he was a cheater also? And those who say atleast bush went for it. He went into iraq and bombed innocent people (here is where the idiot says) well people of 9/11 "WE WONT FORGET" shove A f @$#$ sock in it. most hijackers were saudi arabian and there were no links to hussein. But guess who started/funded the al queda network. DING DING DING it was us the americans. we used them to fight the soviets for us. So you D ouchebags need to get your SH!t str8. And stop using Clinton as a scapegoat. Oh yeah we had Bin laden cornered in the hills remember that, i also remember Bush's quote
""I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
hmm read and stop saying your pro america when u dont study a damn thing to back up what u say. Just give out generalizations like"all of the positive things in the white house was because of Bush senior" im with ya. no more scape goats. take responsibility and see your own gov't isnt what you think it is. look at the oil profits,contracts given,everything just open your damn eyes people!!

Oh recover from the undesirable Clinton bit, he sunk himself, he necessary NO help from every person to do this!! Bin Ladens first attempt on the Towers decrease back in 1993, replaced into under Clinton, which he replaced into too busy to do something approximately it, then the bombing of an American Embassy in Africa, then the united statesCole, many have been killed, all under Clinton, did he do something???? NO! So, 9/11 passed off and Bush reacted like a President ought to, and we've not had any assaults on account that, so do i think secure?? confident, allot extra desirable than i might if a participant from the opposing team replaced into as much as bat....... Oh & BTW... your "data" , properly, they simply are not!!

You can make statistics and numbers say whatever you want, and they mean diddly-over-squat. Bill Clinton made a mockery of the office of Chief Executive. Not a single world leader in another country (not even the British Labour Party's own Tony Blair) took Clinton seriously, but they take Bush seriously. They know Bush governs by PRINCIPLE, not opinion poll, and that he means what he says.
Bill Clinton basically sat back on his lazy @$$ and took credit for EVERYTHING that was made possible through the hard work of one Ronald Wilson Reagan and was continued by one George Herman Walker Bush. Economists will tell you that the U.S. economy is on a six-to-ten year life cycle, so what happened six to ten years ago directly affects what is happening in our economy now. So who was in office six to ten years before the Clinton Administration? Gee, I believe it was ol' Ron and the senior Bush. Now, who was in office from the years 1993 to 2001, which DEFINITELY affect our current economy?
And what about the Federal health care system Clinton promised? What about the billions of dollars spent on said Federal health care plan that were WASTED when the conservatives finally showed the liberals what we already knew -- that it would require a 300% increase in income taxes and would be worse in almost every way than the current system.
Oh, did I mention the fact that in 1999 the Sudanese government contacted our State Department and offered up Osama bin Laden on a silver platter? And what was the response of our (inhale to the) Chief? NOTHING. A year later, the U.S.S. Hood, and a year after that, the Twin Towers.
Idiocy, thy name is liberal...

Sorry to tell you, but all the positive things that Clinton got credit for was due to the previous president (President Bush Senior). He just sat in the oval office and let Monica help him commit adultery on my tax dollar on my time, remember he is getting paid to be the president. He let Bin Laden go (that was the best chance we ever had). He was too worried about his pending impeachment hearing. The best president, hahaha!! He was disbarred in his home state for lying under oath. What kind of example does that give our children to follow? Oh, did I forget to mention that when he left office him and Hillary tried to steal from the White House? You have to be kidding to say he was a great president. He also pardoned all of those guilty people before leaving office. Yep, a great example for our kids, not!!

It seems the whiny liberals are the ones blaming Bush for EVERYTHING to me. I do my best to forget those slimy, fake creatures who infested the White House before Bush and Laura. I don't feel half as good blaming Clinton for something as I would planting a good HARD kick in the seat of his lying, cheating, weak britches.

Gotta give credit where it's due. Clinton did NOT capture/kill bin Laden. He did send Madeline not so bright to North Korea for tea and crumpets. Now they possibly have a nuke. Way to go BJ.

Nice try. That's the Democratic tactic, not the Republican one.
Democrats blame Bush for hurricanes, for crying out loud. If the man can control the weather, don't you think he could get his approval ratings up?
Grow up.

To the 1st question:
No, it makes me sick to have to recall all the messes he caused. Now we have such huge messes even a decent guy like Bush is struggling to take control of the situation.

NO. IT MAKES US FEEL BAD THAT WE ALLOWED THAT YAHOO HILLBILLY TO GET AWAY WITH HIS CRAP FOR 8 YEARS. HE WAS ONLY A GREAT PRESIDENT TO THE TERRORISTS, TYRANTS AND DICTATORS OF THE WORLD. CLINTON ISN'T A SCAPEGOAT, HE'S A CULPRIT. COMPARED TO DRAFT-DODGER CLINTON, BUSH IS A GENIUS
