Well, Clinton did a lot more wrong then George Bush has done.  You have to rememeber he was under criminal investigation from the start.  He was morally corrupt as well.  He brought the deficit down sure, but at the expence of a horrid economy which we are in the midst of rebuilding right now.  Taxes were higher, which meant people were making less money, all the while feeling all warm and fuzzy thinking things were great, all the while spending more and more... So the more people went bankrupt as a result.  People don't like Bush because his first election was decided by an electoral vote, just as every election since the country was founded has been decided.  Bush spied on 1100 or so suspected terrorists, who have been on the watch list for years... the country is angry.... Clinton did the same thing to millions of people through the CIA... for economic issues.. and it's under the carpet like a pile of dirt with that information.  Clinto lied under oath in a Federal Court.. only to have Monica bring the dress out... Bush has yet to even be brought to trial for a traffic violation.

Bush is a fairly good president, particulary compared to clinton...

Clinton did kill people too . He also was otherwise preoccupied when the terrorists were planning 911. He let Bin Laden go free. More than 40 people who had dealings with Clinton died mysteriously. Bush is A man of integrity. He stopped Saddam before he had his nuclear weapon. Clinton gave away the instructions on how to builds one. Liberals are impossible to deal with. Illogical people are that way. They don't let facts get in the way of a good Bush bashing. I wish they could study your pea brains and figure what went wrong. Aussie chick this is none of your business.

Historians will ultimately see Clinton as a slightly better than average president.  While almost no one on Main Street remembers anything about his presidency other than his affair, some of us do recall more about his eight years in office.  Among his accomplishments -- taking a huge federal deficit and turning it into a huge federal surplus (which Bush has again made into a huge federal deficit); presiding over the best post-World War II economy; putting 100,000 police on the streets through federal funding, aiding in the sharp drop in crime rates during his presidency; and above all in sharp contrast to some other president we know, presiding over a period in which America and its president were admired and respected.  Whenever I tell my conservative friends all this, all they want to talk about is Monica.  I suspect they need to adjust their priorities.  On the other hand, Clinton's affair was a shocking dereliction of duty and betrayal of trust (he should have been censured, not impeached) and his handling of health care was pretty ham-handed.  Rest assured, however, that regardless of what historians think of him, the crowd that answers these questions -- which is much more representative of mainstream American thought than I am -- will continue to smear him and talk about Monica.

I had a similar question that I posted at the same time as yours. I hear Hillary described as far left, but I'd call her right of center. She was a born Republican, is still an Iraq war hawk, opposes flag burning and criticized Kerry's recent remarks.

I loved Clinton. Our country was in much better shape when he was President. I mean think about it, if the worst thing Bush had done was lie about getting a #@%$&^#, don't you think America might be a bit better off than we are?

Bush haters UNITE!!  Geez where were you when Clinton was porking Monica in the oval office??  You disagree with Bush policies, but have you notice he doesn't put his own di** before the country?  You have to vote for the best candidate, political affiliation be damned.  Bush will work miracles with the Dems in the house now.  You watch.  Bush is no conservative.\n\nTraveler, you are UnAmerican.  Not everyone is a thief that set foot on this land.  We had corruption to be sure, but we also bought a big chunk of land if you remember when Jefferson was President.  What was corrupt about that?

Actually, I disagree with the first two posts. Bush has had much more power during his term. If Clinton did half of the things Bush has done during his Presidency, Clinton would have been lynched.\n\nTo answer the question, IMO I would like to see a "smarter President" take office. And no, I don’t think any President should have the power to steal an election, send a country to war under false pretences and force their greedy agenda on the country they are supposed to serve.

Bush is no conservative in the way Barry Goldwater or Eisenhower were. I did not think much of Reagan but even he was better, hell for that matter Nixon was better and never did I think I would be saying this.

President Clinton worked for America where as Bush doesn't work and sucks up to the oil companies which takes up most of his time. The only time left for him is on Letterman doing stupid human tricks.

What ever happened to something called respect. George Bush is first of all our president and should be treated with respect. He is human, so of course he will make mistakes. At least Mr. Bush hasn't been in bed with every female that is infatuated with him or have a wife that is so power hungry that she'll tell any lie or have people bumped off to achieve her goal of being president. You must remember that what you hear about all the presidents or  anyone in the public eye  is mostly what our corrupt press wants you to hear.

i agree completely. I HATE CLINTON. he is the meanest man alive. i will never forget when he drove by my school [a military-base school overseas] and he was supposed to get out and meet some people from my school. but instead, he just whipped by us, not even bothering to open his window. and i think bush is amazing. he's doing the best he can in this situation and he's handling it very well. =]

OK Bush did the right thing. who could do any more ? it's his job as president to protect the country, if you'll look at recent history before Bush\n\n1) Embassy bombed in Africa- we did nothing\n\n2) USS Cole gets wacked by terrorists- we did nothing\n\n3) I belive it was "BILL CLINTON in office then, Remember, THE GUY THAT DID NOTHING ????\n\n4) At least Bush has a pair of "Balls" and they were'nt in a fat ugly 20 year old intern's mouth, more great descision making by Bill Clinton.\n\n5) Stop whining, and telling everyone the "ALL presidents do this" your arguement is the typical far left liberal weak argument with no solution, just whining, what are you going to do when "BILLARY" slides that huge butt into the chair, and we start negotiating with Terrorist, speak for yourself ya liberal puke, I want to see America on the map next year, It's jerks like you that are going to get us all killed in the near future with "It's Bush's fault, they'll never be another 911". Jerk !

Though I'm not fond of Bush, you have the right to feel the way you do, you just have to develope a thick skin cause when it comes to politics, it's a cut throat game.  Besides, only history will tell if he was good or bad, & by then we'll have new people to bash.

What other president has had to deal with the issues President Bush has had since taking office? The economy was in a slump, 9-11 in his first year, Katrina, the list goes on. Certainly he has made mistakes, but I don't think his mistakes are enough to warrant "worst president ever." What about democratic presidents that got the US involved in Vietnam with over 50,000 DRAFTED US servicemen dead? I am not a Bush fan by any means and I do wish we had elected a different President, but worse ever isn't fair either.

Hell he isn't familiar with the job now. He sucked then and he sucks now. He will go down in history as the worst most corrupt president ever and I wonder why you defend him. \nAnd to answer the question. Yes Clinton was tough on terror. Bush would have and did have a full briefing of all the things that was important to the safety of the US. Repuglicans just have a problem that Clinton was the last president to get elected legally.
