I thought Clinton was a OK President..At least our country was in better financial shape when he was in office..
What he screwed up was when he did The Monica Lewinski(or however you spell her name)Ordeal, The lies, and everything else that came out..Of course thats what most people are going to remember about him..
But for the most part he was a better President than Bush..

Personally I think he enjoyed the title of President more than the job itself.
He cut military spending to the bone.
Proposed a national health care system that would of cost billions. Put his wife in charge of selling the health care system (nepotism).
Turned the White House into his own brothel and lied under oath about having sexual relations with a woman.
Was given the chance on CIA intell to take out Bin Laden and didn't.
Pardoned what appeared to be every friend who came to him -- In one of his final acts, President Clinton on Saturday pardoned more than 100 Americans, including former Whitewater business partner Susan McDougal, brother Roger Clinton and former CIA Director John Deutch, officials said.

Do me a favor... go look at the people president clinton pardoned...After Roger Clinton, Bill's half brother, was charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in 2 seperate occasions, Bill granted him amnesty. Carlos Vignali and Almon Glenn Basswell both paid Hillary's brother, Hugh Rodman, $200,000 to defend them. After both lost their cases and were sent to prison, President Clinton took office and granted them amnesty!!! Wow tapping each other on the back!!

Don't frget the whitewater scandal, where everyone but Bill and Hillary got sent to prison b/c they were friends with the prosecutor. And later they pardoned their friends.

President Clinton cut soldirrs wages and many needed to go on food stamps. His policy of no loaded guns on navy ships led to the USS Cole bombing.

We all know of Monica, Bill's under the table lover :)... but have any of you heard of over the 30 other incidents of Bill committing sexual assualt. Eileen Wellstone, a 19 year old accused Bill of sexually assualting her near a pub in Oxford. In 1972 Yale campus police had a report of Bill assualting a 22 year old girl. During Bill's first term as govenor, he had over 9 complaints to state troopers about him sexually assualting women. Paula Corbin filed sexual assualt charges against Bill and he paid her $850,000 to keep it quiet.

A FBI agent named Coleen Rowley, along with some newsweek articles, claimed that the FBI asked for a warrent to invade a believed terrorists house. When they got ready, President Clinton stopped the warrent. This suspected terrorist was later on one of the planes that hit the twin towers on 9/11....IT COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED!!!!!!!!!

President clinton also pardoned a senator, named Melvin J. Reynold, after he was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assualt, obstruction of justice and some other smaller crimes.

CLINTON IS A BUMMMMMM


P.S. I just put on a red white and blue flag thong b/c of this question :)

Clinton to me kept everything even, though I think he was not as effective as he could have been always having to defend himself, regarding Monica and against impeachment.

I think he was by far a better president than Bush. He got women off of welfare, our economy was better. He wanted to go and kill O.B.L., but daddy Bush made it so we can't go into another country and assassinate a leader. Congress fought him all the way. Sadly, he will be remembered as a lier, adulterer. See how telling lies gets you into trouble. The truth comes out sooner or later.
