He inherited a good economy and took credit for it .
6 out of 8 of his years he was powerless , because remember he lost 68 seats after only 2 short years in office .He lost them without a war . Ross Perot split the repub vote in half giving him the majority , so he was elected on a fluke twice . What a phoney!

he also took credit for welfare reform from the contract of america he vetoed on four separate occasions and was personally reponsible for stalling the attack on jihad with little or no response to the uss cole, african embassy bombings and first wtc attack...couldnt agree with you more.

I'm no fan of "Slick Willy" Clinton, but I have to disagree with you.
Sure, he inherited a good economy, but it didn't get worse with him in charge, either. The last president to inherit a bad economy was Ronald Reagan when he took the lead from Jimmy "Mr. Peanut" Carter.
The President is never "powerless" as long as he has the power of the veto. If Clinton was indeed powerless, then how did he manage to get the Brady Bill passed? And this was with a Republican-controlled congress, mind you.
Ross Perot had nothing to do with Clinton's win on either occasion. He got the most votes, so he won. Period.
A phony, no. A liar and a cheat and a thief, yes; but a phoney, no.

this first statement is for tammer: you were a republican for your core beliefs, not if you liked the current prez or not. thick head simple mind must be your problem. as for clinton, he was a puppet of his wife and consensus polls. 1 above guy blamed his 2000 recession on the dotcom burst but wont say anything about the booming economy the internet brought. clinton was prez when it happened, he was lucky. i want to know what legislation clinton passed to improve the economy

Glad someone understands how Clinton enjoyed taking credit for others work. Hillary has taken lessons from him and all she has to do now is learn not to put her foot in her mouth. The more she talks the further she gets from the nomination.

Well if being a fraud gives you a better legacy and approval ratings than most of other Presidents, I guess he would be OK being a fraud.

yeah, I guess he didn't go off and drain the entire surplus of national funds on a pointless war and lose thousands of soldiers in the process while simultaneously creating some of the most ridiculously useless tax laws and "homeland security acts" this country has ever seen without actually accomplishing anything, like a real president would.

And yet, the American economy continued expanding throughout his 8 years, unemployment stayed at a low level, and Carter-era inflation never returned.
We only had a hint of a recession beginning in 2000, not because of him as much as the dot.com bust and multiple corporate failures and frauds.

Oh no, he was the real deal. A pure liberal through and through. Why else would he stand for a party that says it's for women's rights....as long as they are on their knees giving them service in the Oval Office.
Tammer......what about the thousands that died on 9/11. The failure of Clinton's policies lead to that....Bush is just giving PAY BACK!

Clinton was a 1000 times better than
war ape Bush.His impeachment was wrong.
Being a Democrat made him much more
better.Hopefully his wife will become president.
Clinton wasn't a fraud.War ape Bush
became president because of a rigged
election.Right now,America has
a bad economy,which sucks.

Sorry dont agree but remember " when Clinton lied , no one died. When Bush lied we have lost how many now? I was a republican BEFORE BUSH
For the one that asked me a question..... We opened our boarder way before Clinton ( not a Clinton supporter) and taught them how to fly............... They sold weapons to them ( also before Clinton) So we kind of set ourselves up for 9/11.. It was a horrible tragedy , but how does sending soldiers over to die justify it, We Weill never catch Bin Laden.....
When Clinton lied no one died
