Was Bill Clinton a satisfactory president?

I love how all the Dems on here give Clinton credit for the economy back in the 90's.  You must remember the president does not have all the power.  The Congress and Senate were both run by Republicans at the time Clinton was in the White House.  Ask this same question to those 18 Army Rangers parents and family members who got killed in the streets of Mogidishu Somalia in Oct. 1993.  NO, he was not a satisfactory president. He was and always will be a womanizer.

NO!!  And thank God someone see Bill Clinton for what he was.  A complete moron who plunged our country into despair and leaving nothing but a mess for G.W. to clean up.  Bill Clinton should rot in hell.

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 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.

He signed the legislation that doubled the President's salary to 400k.\n\nHe signed a bunch of other laws into effect.  The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.  Brady Bill, Communications Decency Act, Defense of Marriage Act (which allowed states to refuse gay marriages and banned the federal government from proving for LGBT Americans). A bit atypical for a liberal.\n\nHe increased taxes in 1993.  Then, lowered them in 1997.\n\nThe Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.  And a few other things.  I think his foreign policy was decent.\n\nFor those of you pointing to the good economy in the 90s, my cat could have oversaw that.  It was some of Alan Greenspan behind the scenes and mostly the general business cycle, not Clinton for that.  Most of Clinton's legislation didn't affect the economy much except that he minorly fiddled with taxes.  Probably not enough to do much.  By the way, the budget surplus numbers are mostly myth as I've discussed here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006042914467\n\nOverall, I think he was fine.  Not bad, not great.  Whatever he did, Clinton had Charisma going for him.  Many people liked him as shown by the 60+% approval rating.  As the person below me said, sometimes hands off can be fine if the country is doing fine during your term.  I don't think he was one of our best presidents ever, but then again, I don't think many presidents are good.

Didn't happen until Bill Clinton became President.

He has 33% approval rating.  \n\nThat's a low rating for a president.  \n\nWhen you compare his ratings to Clinton's it's laughable.

Clinton was an AMAZING president. What I don't understand about this whole thing, though, is why he was nearly impeached for lying about sex, while our current president is rewarded for bringing our country to war under false pretenses.

Definately Ronald Reagan.  He handled the Middle East situation quite well when it came up during the time he held office.\n\nTo whomever suggested Clinton:  why do you think he has any answers now?  He managed to studiously overlook the matter for his entire 8 year in office. Though I do understand he made out well with his understaff.  *WG*

Presidents amid scandal and low poll numbers always take a sudden trip overseas to seem 'Presidential'.\n\nThey all do it, Clinton did it.\n\nIt works.

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.

Yes I do! Bill Clinton was an awesome President for America. George Bush has destroyed everything Clinton got accomplished in 6 short years.

Bush was a fun guy then\n\nAnd an out standing leader today.
