Its called playing the blame game. Clinton was not perfect by any standard, but his agenda advanced American thought. The political right blames Clinton for problems their own ideology created.

It serves several purposes. 1. It obviously take everyone's mind off the colossal blunders of the present administration. 2. It takes people attention away from the good things Clinton accomplished that Bush has not only thrown away but turned into a national tragedy - Clinton got us out of debt and Bush has plunged us into it more than all other Presidents combined for the benefit of his war making corporations http://www.uuforum.org/deficit.htm
3. It is a cynical attempt to distract everyone from the really sinister design of the present BushOilCo group to plunder the country, the Treasury, and the Middle East while we all discuss the morality of a man having sex while they are causing the maiming and death of hundreds of thousands of people, including our own, all in the pursuit of short term profits.

Because people concentrate on the negative and like to gossip. Personnally, I like Mr. Clinton and I also like his wife Hillary. She might be the first female president of the U.S. I believe people should talk more about the good than the bad things because it leads nowhere to stay in negative thinking. After all who hasn't made any mistakes? Even Mr. Bush admitted some.

choozlife got it right. They do this to try and get the attention off Bush. What they don't get is that every time they bring up Clinton, it only serves as a reminder to all of us just how really bad of a President Bush is.

He was an excellent President, that's why. He was impeached for perjury. The source of that perjury, lying to a grand jury about a bj. Not treason, not high crimes and misdemeanors, but a bj. He was such a threat to the republicans they stooped that low to discredit him. Our economy was very healthy, our unemployment was low, interest rates were low and he was paying down the national debt while shrinking government. All the things the republicans say they are for but do not do. He is hated for hypocrisy, the hypocrisy the republicans look at him and see in themselves. He did everything they say they are about.

Its there way of trying to shift blame from there guy to somebody else instead of taking responsibility. Don't worry if a Dem gets elected in the next election and blows it all the Dem's will just point there finger back at Bush instead of blaming themselves.

People will always talk about bad things that former presidents have done (a.k.a. Nixon and Watergate, LBJ and Vietnam, etc.). It's just part of history.

Because the country will suffer from many of his bad things, for our whole lifetime.
