Why do people think Clinton was so great?  He was a draft dodging, secret selling adulterer.?

Yeah, Clinton was an idiot. He received intelligence which hinted at plans for the 9/11 attacks, but did nothing. If Clinton wasn't busy having affairs and lying to American people during his presidency, our current situation may have been alot different.

lundstroms2004  answered it BEST!  That is the one 2 above me....\n\nHe is a good president.  What can make him great is HOW he has faced terrorism where NO One ever has, and still the US Economy is rocking.  Is as great if not better then when Clinton left office (Which was an awesome economy then too)\n\nAmazing how a man can WIN 2 Wars during his presidency, still maintain a great economy, and be called the worst president of all time.  Worst at what?

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.

So unbelieveable because it didn't exist... Clintons taxes took more of my income than Bush's... \n\nEconomic prosperity under Clinton? \nBULLSHIT!\n\nClinton took away many of our rights, including many 2nd Amendment related, he is one of the worst Presidents ever...

Hey suzyQ. You can say what you want about Clinton, but he cared what was going on at home. Granted, he lied, but about a woman. But lets go over Bush's lies, shall we?. First, it was weapons of mass destruction. Oh sorry, I was wrong. Well, lets get the madman Saddam out, and all will be well. That done, lets fight terror. He changes his mind like people change their socks. And troops are dying every day for it. Presidents have faced impeachment for less.

I have actually thought about this sort of thing.  I always wondered why people were so ready to excuse Bill Clinton when he had an affair and lied under oath.  People said, "Oh, it's just sex."  Or, "It's his personal life."  Well, we wouldn't want that happening to us in our own homes, so I don't know why we would accept it from the leader of our country.  I think we need to hold people in power to an even higher expectation.

It's funny you mention this because a while back I thought of the same concept... They both are criminals in a way, but what Bush did cannot be forgotten nor forgiven... What Clinton did,  millions of people do all the time. Adultery is everywhere...  It's not right, but people make mistakes! Screwing the world is discusting and I hope that somewhere in the future Bush will be punished and will suffer for what he did!

People who voted for Bush seem to have done so because of their self-righteous-"Clinton is an adulterer"- piety.  Alas, I long for the days when our biggest concern was whether our president received oral sex.  It was simpler times.\n\nYou see what happens when we let the self-righteous decide who becomes president?\n\np.s. \nUnemployment is low, but the gap between the rich and poor is ever increasing because the types of jobs that are being created are service jobs and not the kind of jobs that allow you to improve your situation.

Here comes the dictator comments again {rolling eyes}... and the claims of criminality without one shred of proof of any criminal act. Repeating the same unfounded spew, does not make it truth. No matter how many times we can show these uber-libs the factual circumstances and documentation behind things, they keep going right down the same path. Unbleievable.\n\nBush, like every other person or president, makes decisions that are not necessarily in line with the popular consensus. He also makes mistakes. He's also in the last term of a presidency that is continually under attack from the left wing of the Democratic party and the media. With that kind of continual influence, popularity numbers will fall.\n\nThe weird thing is that just a bit ago it was in the 60's (negative reaction), yet with this apparent mistake with the control of American ports, the pols show a slight increase in popularity. It goes to show, yet again, that these small polls are not exactly what we would call accurate or something to be taken as an absolute truth.\n\nWhile I am sure he will continue to be very unpopular with the uber-libs, and will have a good amount of opposition with many other Dems, I don't really read a ton into it. Look, Clinton was a popular President, who really did not do much of a good job with anything at all, was caught perjuring, and was even more scandalous than the uber-libs think Bush is. Popularity polls mean about as much in terms of the truth as the most popular baseball player inherently being the best baseball player.

tell me--do you think the democrats in congress wouldnt love to get even for the clinton impeachment?  if there were truly evidence of a scandal....they would be all over it like stink on poop...wondering who is really stupid ...did you know that gullible isnt in the dictionary? go check and see

It's certainly easy to believe that people don't know how (or want to truly debate) when you read the Yahoo discussions and watch a lot of the media. Frankly, I think many people are intellectually lazy. They don't want to take the time to provide defendable reasons why they believe a certain way, so they resort to vitriole and name-calling.\n\nI too believe that Bush is a good man and was right about Iraq, but he is a horrible communicator. That was Clinton's strong-point. Right or wrong, he knew how to get the American people to buy whatever he was selling.

A Clinton baiter huh?  I'll take the 2 points but won't waste my time trying to  change your narrow, closed mind.  \n\nAre you the morality judge?

hate to give you the bad news but Clinton was never impeached....he faced an impeachment and he did lie but you know what you are right he did a lot more for this country than our current president has....I'd imagine he is still in office because the political heads in office wanted a pawn or a puppet....the man is a moron and it is obvious when he speaks.....one of the favorite things I heard that short little bastard say is he doesn't have to answer to anyone or explain himself to anyone.....he must have forgotten who he was working for for a moment.....but thankfully he will be gone in two more years

I love how dems think slick willy was a great president.  What did he do to earn this monicker?  \n\nBalance the budget?  \nHmm republican congress, slashed military budget, set us up for 9/11\n\nMaybe it was hit fantastic foreign policy?\nHmm Los Alamos comprimised by Chinese spies, nuclear secrets stolen, gee just after his meetings with Chinese lobbyists.  Somalia, anyone?\n\nThe great economy of the late 90's?\nYeah thats right him and Al Gore invented the internet...I forgot about that.\n\nGive me a break.  These are the same people who think Kennedy was a great president too.  (Incidentally most historians now view the "Camelot" years as some of the worst in U.S. presidential history).  In 20 years historians will look back and classify Slick Willy as a dud.\n\nBut despite all this I still get a little chuckle at how they think Hillary can win the next presidential election.  Their just too cute, poor little dems don't know that'll never happen.

Bill Clinton was a GOOD president.  A heck of a lot better than the poor excuse we have in office now.  And who is to say that this president hasn't exercised some extramarital activities?  Many presidents have had sexual activity outside their marriage . . . but haven't gotten caught.  President Kennedy had a long-term affair with Marilyn Monroe, and no body thought badly of him.  You are right, just because he has a high sexual drive doesn't make him not qualified to hold the office of president.

I guess FDR was the best President.  But in modern times. America never had it so good as when Bill Clinton was President. Forget all the Monica stuff. The country was in a great state.

yes! If any of these stories would have came up on Clinton's watch, he would have been impeached before the next news cycle. After all, he was nearly ousted over a stained dress. Yet this prez has a gay male prostitute visiting him for 2 yrs and was it never even mentioned in the main stream media. A new, more damaging story is put out nearly everyday, and before it gets much discussion, its topped by a next new one and is never heard of again. The media was all over Clinton for a host of trivial things like Travel-gate, Whitewater, White House sleepovers and the like. Yet important things done by this administration, that effect EVERY ONE OF US are routinely forgotten. Torture, Katrina, Dubai Ports deal, Airport Insecurity, Haliburton, 9/11, Leaking of CIA agents identities, secret wiretapping programs, OSAMA BIN LADEN, and list goes on & on & on. Where is the media's outrage? Wheres the in-depth reporting? How can the Corperate Media accept the White House's canned answers as a replacement for facts? Get off your BUTTS and dig for the truth. Its not gonna be pretty but it is ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY!!!
