to truly believe that what a president did during office ends when he leaves is unbelievable. President Bush is blamed for jobs leaving this country but NAFTA , and free trade with China and Vietnam were passed by Pres. Clinton. Pres, Bush is blamed for the growth of terrorism but after 5 attacks on the USA, which Pres. Clinton did nothing about. before the attack of 911 the government caught talk in which the terrorist said " that this time they(USA) will have to respond" . we were in a recession when Pres. Bush took office but Pres. bush ruined the economy. Pres. Clinton intuited two wire tapes laws but it is Pres. Bush that is eavesdropping. we still suffering from some the mistakes of Pres. Carter , Reagen, Bush and Clinton. and the next Pres. will have due to some of the short comings of this president.

You must be in a business that is not effected by NAFTA because otherwise you would not be asking this question, NAFTA is killing our country and CLINTON signed it. Oh, and Clinton also made a laughing stock of the presidency due to his infidelity and to think Hilary is still married to him (must be for appearance sake for her bid for president!). Can not forget the issue with White Water and the plan for national health (ask Canada how good their system is!)...
Things a president does has a lot longer effect on us after the president leaves office so your statement is erroneous...

You have no idea what Clinton did to our military, he basically gutted it! I was in the Army from 1991 to 1995 and during the first 2 years of his administration, which would have been 1993-1994, he ruined the military. Our money and supplies were cut to shreads. We couldn't even get spark plugs for vehicles. He screwed up big time in this aspect. During the battle of Mogidishu on Oct. 3, 1993, he and Les Aspin (sec of defense at the time) did not allow our Rangers on the ground to have the support vehicles needed to do their jobs. Thus getting 18 U.S. troops killed. I know you probably don't care, but his admin. was messed up!

Clinton wasn't really (as much as it pains me to admit it) that bad of a president. Aside from the fact that he hated nuclear power (which a lot of people do, I just happen to think it's a good power source if used wisely.) I didn't have much of a problem with the dude. We had a balanced budget, which was totally awesome. And he wasn't about raiding the Social Security surplus, which was also cool. He was very fiscally responsible. And I like that in a president. Frankly, I didn't care that he had a mistress, where they did the deed, and if he lied about it. People lie about infidelity all the time. Will history remember him as a great president? I don't know. But he was a good one.
And for the record, I am NOT a Democrat. I am a Libertarian.

I think he is being blamed for things that happened when he was 9 months out of office.

Exactly. Clinton was an excellent president, and here's how you can tell:
the country's BIGGEST concern was the state of his penis.

Well they have to point the finger at someone. God forbid they should admit to their own mistakes.
