He was one of the worst things to happen to this country but was definitely the worst thing to happen to Monica Lewinsky and the Oval Office.

certainly i think of Clinton grow to be an spectacular polititian. it relatively is why he served 2 words and left workplace with a 60% approval score. the subsequent 2 bozos, Gore and Kerry, ran undesirable campaigns and have been outspent, out labored and out foxed via the GOP. Hillary, who's acquainted with. i'm hoping she does not run - i'm searching for somebody else to lead the Democratic party lower back to the White domicile. Edwards? Biden? Obama ain't have been given it, the two. A sense stable vote which will lose.

What did Bill do??? No one died from it. We did not have to send out the troops for his cause.
What Bill did is going on everyday somewhere in corporate America and no doubt on Capitol Hill somewhere. People need to get over it.

No, and I think making it a personal thing (President Clinton vs. what he did) is a seditious attack on our country.
He was elected by our democratic process, and thus due the respect that all our elected officials SHOULD receive.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can't dissent with his opinions, oppose his goals, and protest his actions! Those are all U.S. American values!
But the constant flow of verbal abuse, name calling, unfounded rumors, and the treatment as if guilty until proven innocent directed at our elected officials is not just seditious.
When it is organized, and institutionalized, it is treasonous.
I didn't vote for President Clinton, and did not agree with many of the ideals he held, but he will forever be respected by me for the service he did this country (all other issues aside).
The same goes for President Bush.
This is what makes a patriot. To never undermine by seditious means an elected official, a national symbol, or our nation itself,...
...even when saying to their face that you will continue to oppose them in every ethical and legal way you can.
Takes no courage to be seditious, just cowardice and a deep hatred for your own country (other nationals are just acting like enemies, so that's not sedition).
Takes no courage to remain silent in the face of sedition, just cowardice and lack of patriotism.
It takes courage to tell you to stop being seditious (I do it in public as well, face to face), when, in truth, I tend to agree with the idea that President Clinton's ACTS did set us back a bit in some ways.
Keep speaking up, everyone, on all sides.
But United States Americans...show some pride again. Silence is NOT an value we hold dear.

Considering he's the on modern day President to even grasp the concept of our economy, even Alan Greenspan said this about Clinton. Because of his knowledge of our economy he got us out of the debt from Reagan and Bush's administration. 6 billion dollar reduction in our deficit.
Made tax cuts to low-income families and small businesses while ONLY raising 1.2% in taxes to the wealthy
Let's see, instead of making rash moves in regards to terrorism, he targeted one cell at a time instead of bombing entire nations. He did start a war, but, OH YES, it was for humanitarian reasons. Kosovo is now probably the ONLY country that still likes us.
6 million new jobs were created during the first two years in office and had the lowest unemployment rate in 25 years.
The Brady Bill, The Crime Bill, The Family Leave Act, Welfare reform, cut down federal bureacracy, student loan programs, AmeriCorp, provided funding for schools to cut down on crime and drugs, I mean the list goes on and on.
He was really focused on the people of America and we had 8 years of peace and prosperity. So, yes, he was good for America.

No, that crown belongs to George W. Bush! Clinton had flaws, but his foreign policy was amazing. There is nothing good about Bush, except that his speeches are funny to watch because he can't pronounce most of the words! Even with the whole "sex" scandal thing, Clinton still had great ratings, Bush is down to what 28%? That should tell you something right there.

The worst thing that ever happened to America? No, there have been alot of worse things. Lying, cheating CEO's that steal the money from their companys and retiree's are a lot higher on my list.

No. Clinton is no different than anyone else and he was caught. Our employment was up when he was president.

no hypersensitive people from both sides of the isle trying to flame and figure out which president of the last 20 years is the worst are the scurdge of this earth. give history some time to judge these things fairly and remember that some of the greatest presidents in our history; i.e. washington, jefferson, lincoln, were all unfairly judged in their day.
