Absolutely! And he will be viewed as one of the best Presidents ever. He has the courage of his convictions and is not swayed by public opinion as his predecessor was.

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.

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?

Bill Clinton will probably be judged by most historians as an average president. His greatest domestic achievements--balancing the federal budget and reforming the federal welfare system to include work requirements--were both essentially defensive maneuvers. In foreign affairs, his record was decidedly mixed, with successful resolutions of the crises in Bosnia and Kosovo but major blunders in Somalia and Rwanda that cost literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Clinton also failed to act strongly against the growing threat of Islamist terrorism as embodied in Al Qaeda and of course his dalliances with Monica Lewinsky destroyed his entire second term's domestic agenda. Clinton's greatest accomplishment was no doubt doing everything he could to maximize the United States' economic growth during the extraordinary economic boom of the 1990's such as lowering the budget deficit and trying to make the economy serve the interests of the middle class in a time of rapid economic transition from an industrial to a service-based American economy that was having to come to grips with globalization. Clinton was a man gifted with extraordinary political skills and one of the finest minds since Thomas Jefferson held the office--but his own personal weaknesses ultimately meant that his was a presidency of which historians will always ask the question, "what could have been?"

It sounds like you need to learn a lot more about what Clinton did, good and bad. How about taking a history class at a local community college, where you can learn more about Clinton and other presidents have done for this country? \n\nClinton presided over one of the richest and most peaceful periods (8 years) in our nation's history and established friendly relations with many countries that were emerging from Communism. He fully funded education and set aside new wilderness land for protection. He also attempted (but failed) to pass universal health care coverage for all Americans, although he did manage to get COBRA health coverage for people who are between jobs and Family/Medical Leave that allows someone to take time off from work for the birth of a child or to care for a sick fmaily member. During Clinton's time in office, America had more respect from other countries of the world than we do now. He did not try to get extra rights for gays and lesbians, only the same treatment that other people already get.\n\nAll in all, I think Clinton will be remembered as one of the best Presidents in the second half of the 20th century, but one who perhaps ws not able to live up to his full potential (due to the failure of his health care plan since America was not ready for Hillary, the GOP takeover of Congress in 1994, and the Lewinsky scandal which crippled him in his second term).

He wasn't the greatest President ever, but at least the economy as growing steadily and people had jobs (including the Prez himself - LMAO). Oh yeah, and I do believe we had a balanced budget once again, didn't we? ; )\n\nI'm no fan of the Democrats nor the Republicans, so I vote third party all the time. But things seemed to get done on his watch.

I am glad you love him so much.  Monica loved Bill Clinton.

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 think President Bush is a great president.  He is almost as good as Ronald Reagan.  I absolutely love Georgie Bush!

Bill Clinton? Is that you?

I have been around since Truman and probably started paying attention around Eisnehouer, I have never (including Richard Nixon) seen a more corupt govenment in my life. As for the worst I think he is bar none.  Bill CLinton was a good president in the sense I have never seen so much prosperity. His trouble with his zipper should have not been a problem. It should have been a problem only between him and Hillary. It was brought on by dirty politics, if you remember they started out by investigating white water and how it got to that was pure and mean. Ken Star wherever you are should be a very proud man.

They did when they elected Bush.   Clinton, despite the Lewinsky scandal was a great president.  People made a big deal over the scandal, it didnt change the economy, it didnt send people to iraq, people made it such a big deal over nothing.
