What??? You wont ever hear me say that. Clinton was a great President that did some things that were very wrong. Do I care that he was laying the pipe to Monica? No I really don't. What I care about is the fact that he lied about it while under oath.
The economy was good under Clinton, granted my tax rate SUCKED, but hey that's what Democrats do. They steal from the hard working folks and give to the ones that are either to lazy or to stupid to get a job.
Other than that I think he should have been more forceful with Saddam in 1998 when he bombed the hell out of Iraq.

I don't.
Clinton was a non-descript president, neither good nor bad. I can't remember anything he did that would tip the scales either way.
He never made a single change to Operation Southern Watch, the operations in the Persian Gulf started by Bush Sr. and ended by Bush Jr. He merely balanced the budget but didn't change the course of America's economy (except that he raised taxes a little.)
One thing that he did do that no one seems to realize is that he expanded the Communications Act and the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act with measures that expanded the government's rights to spy on Americans.
Surprised?
What? You actually thought that the media would blame Clinton and not Bush?
For more information, look up the following new laws:
Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (a law that requires telephone companies to format their records to assist government investigations).
Digital Communications and Telephony Act (a law that brings the internet and cellular phones under the Communications Act umbrella for regulation).
Clinton also made no changes to the mandates of the NSA. The first mandate of the NSA is to spy on the world. The second mandate is to develop means to prevent the world from spying on us. (These mandates were outlined by executive orders written by Reagan.) Cell phones were developed in the 70s while Ford was president. Clinton fully understood that the NSA could pick up all American cellular phone calls, that they would be routed through the Echelon system and he did nothing about it.
I'm sure that when Bush was blamed for these things, he wiped the sweat from his brow and had Sandy Burger take care of a few National Archive documents.

Clinton is famous for saying one thing and doing the exact opposite.
He spoke of moral truths yet had multiple affairs in office.
He spoke of properity yet let the country headed for massive debt at the end of his presidency (you REALLY think all that debt happened overnight?).
He sold his residence out to the highest bidder (let any big donater stay in the White House for the right price).
Yet he also was a good communicator (nothing like the 'great communicator - if you don't know whom I am speaking of you are too young to know) and had a way of making people trust him.
Conservatives have a hard time because he did little to promote America in the world, people loved him, and he was more liked that W is now.
It's normal- Liberals will complain about our conservative president, Conservatives will complain about our previous Liberal president.
Nothing changes....

Cause 90's political correctness and gay liberation flourished under his tenure. And he's a Democrat.
Their feelings are remarkably similar on Johnson, Carter, and especially Roosevelt. Truman and Kennedy sometimes get a pass and the Democrats WERE the conservatives up until Wilson or so. Or the civil rights act.

Clinton is the last example of a Democrat in the Whitehouse. The only other example would be Jimmy Carter and he was a disaster too.
Not so many of us were adults when LBJ or Kennedy were in there.

In many ways I would be considered a liberal, in others conservative.... but, either way, a thief is a thief...... and a Clinton a Clinton..... Obama a Racist and Rudy a Fake......
It's simple actually, one only needs consider "Justice and injustice" , "Right & wrong" , dishonesty and honesty" , "good v. evil" to discerne that Hillary and obama are neither worthy of a single US Citizen vote or desreve any respect or votes in any primayry election....

Recession, dismantling military and intelligence agencies, by Clinton's own admission everything in America became a CRISIS, state secrets given to or stolen by enemy states,
South Korea, China, Mid East ... basically every problem we are having now was amplified and exacerbated because of the Clinton presidency.
In short Clinton was more interested in covering his own *** in stead of being a leader for his country.

Probably because he's actually one of the best the Dems have come up with in a long while. He probably scared the Repubs white as ghosts. Oh no, that's their sheets ha.

Really because he made it look too easy.
Also, because he was able to get play and not even get into trouble with his wife. This guy was so smooth and cool that he even made unpopular decisions seem reasonable. Conservatives had to mock and denegrade and destroy. We all mock what we don't understand, and conservatives don't understand things that are different or progressive.
Ironically, Newt Gingrich, speaker of the house who lead the witchhunt into Clinton's affairs, was having an affair at the same time! What a jerk! (Gingrich, of course, got divorced - but primarily because he was a swine with a partially crushed frontal lobe, and his wife was giving up braindead bacon.)
