I'm curious as to the opinions of the guy from the people that were around for his presidency. If all you have to talk about is his (pitiful) taste in women, save it... I'm just curious as to whether or not anybody 1) remembers, and 2) cares (cared?) about the guy, as a President.

So please, discuss...

His decimation of the personnel levels in the Armed Forces is still being felt by those serving now. I recognize that 41 scratched the surface of reductions, but Clinton and Cohen skeletonized our military...then, "oops".

Frankly the past two Democratic presidents significantly hurt the effectiveness and morale of our fighting forces...it is up to you to decide whether that is a bad thing or not.

To be honest, I haven't really thought much about his Presidency in awhile. And from a legacy standpoint, I can't really remember what he did that was memorable.

In my opinion, Clinton may be the best politician of the era. Keep in mind, I'm not claiming him as the best president, statesman, commaner in chief, etc.

His '92 campaign hit every right note. Sen. Tsongas was correct when he labeled him the Pander Bear in a debate, but no one really noticed or cared. He took office with a very liberal agenda that immediately alienated the Reagan Democrats who voted for him. But when the Republicans organized and took Congress in '94 he understood the message and changed his agenda back to more moderate policies. And that move may have wrapped up the '96 election even without a hapless effort by Sen. Dole.
I think Clinton got it when it came to talking to Joe Blow American Public and made them confident in him, even though part of his legacy is that opinion polls are now considered to be the gospel (fortunately not as much as they were several years ago).

I would have voted for him in the '92 primaries, but it was Spring Break... I did not vote for him in 92 or 96 and I don't remember the 96 primaries. I switched parties in Nov 00.

Together with a pretty conservative Congress, he made huge improvements after Reaganomics didn't work so well.

Unemployment lowered, largest economic expansion in history, turned the deficit:surplus ratio to the black, etc. His fiscal conservatism was sound.

I was a big fan of the Family Medical Leave Act and adding 100,000 more police to the forces. Welfare-to-work was better than I thought it would be.

He was decent environmentally, and did well on the world scene.

Cons: Brady bill, Don't Ask - Don't Tell, bad for guns all the way around. The VA improved, but didn't grow as it should have during his time.

All that said, I remember him most not for the blow job, but for pointing his finger and lying. He left in disgrace.

He did a lot of horrible things for GWB and the economy toward the end of his 2nd term. Repealing the Glass-Steagall Act and creating the legislation for the "Enron loophole" created a lot of the economic problems we have today. In fact, the 2001 recession (due to the tech bubble bursting) can be pinned squarely on Clinton. History says he was definitely weak on defense. He could have caught Osama, and the 9/11 attack likely would not have happened.

I agree with Reevie's post on almost every point.


He took office with a very liberal agenda that immediately alienated the Reagan Democrats who voted for him. But when the Republicans organized and took Congress in '94 he understood the message and changed his agenda back to more moderate policies.

I think Clinton got it when it came to talking to Joe Blow American Public and made them confident in him, even though part of his legacy is that opinion polls are now considered to be the gospel (fortunately not as much as they were several years ago).

I dont think he took office with a liberal agenda as he lied about his agenda until he got into office. The 94 congress drug him back kicking and screaming. Also agree with the opinion poll issue - the man had no spine or morals as evidenced by the fact that a leader should do whats best, not whats popular. He was absolutely maddening in this respect.


Together with a pretty conservative Congress, he made huge improvements after Reaganomics didn't work so well.

I disagree with most of this. He eliminated restrictions on business which eventually led to the meltdown we're having today. Reganomics were sucessful based on slow steady growth. There were relatively minor ups and downs but the effect pulled us out of the malaize of the 70s. Bill Clinton allowed necessary checks and balances to be removed off the business community. Yes it initially was lit afire. Business was booming. But his short sightedness is why we are in this mess today.

I was in college and held the office of President (of the Student Government Association). I modeled my office after Clinton: I used my power to divert funds to my own interests (the rugby club). I nailed lots of wimmins who were enamored with my power but my cigars were used for, um, smoking (bud) only. I protected freedom of speech when they wanted to put a firewall on the internet by bringing porn and booze to an SGA meeting just to show that firewalls wouldn't keep peoples from getting to what they weren't supposed to have.

This Clinton-esque era was good times for all involved. Except for the Bible thumpers. They hated me. :)

Probably the most capable American politician of the second half of the 20th century. Took office during the "golden time" between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of fanatical Islamic militancy, thus, didn't have to deal with any serious foriegn policy issues.

Most folks who meet him say his presence tends to occupy a room and he has a unique way of connecting with people on being introduced that makes them feel as though they are personally very important to him. More importantly, it doesn't come across as being affected or strained.

Might have been capable of momentous and far-reaching accomplishments but his effectiveness in advancing his agenda was hamstrung by some profoundly stupid personal decisions.

Probably a fun guy to sit with at a football game or a tittie bar.

well, the bubble didn't burst while he was around, how can you blame him? :)

i was pretty unimpressed either way with Clinton.

until Iraq, i was fairly happy with GWB. but he didn't stand out from Gore to me through the election, but i liked how he initially handled 9/11.

the tech thing was starting, but then 9/11 just kinda hammered everything. i'm not sure what anyone could have done to keep the economy going right after that

That being said, the guy was the greatest politician I've ever seen. He was untouchable. In the last 50 years, he was far and away the best to play the game. They had him stapled to the wall with the Lewinsky deal and still couldn't touch him. Incredible.

everything good that happened in the last 30 years is because of Ronaldus Maximus. haven't you learned anything on so many years on this board?

even though he slashed the DOE budget for research into alternative energy sources in his FIRST term, doesn't matter. he was never a creature of petroleum politics. always looking to the future, enemy of BIG government.

Good stuff so far, guys... Keep it up. I think that, given what we've had to endure the past 8 years, and what's happened to our economy, our education under NCLB, and our country in general, I miss the sh*t out of W.J. Clinton. I saw a Daily Show interview with him last night (or maybe it was this morning, I don't remember) that got me thinking about him again... He was the first real Baby Boomer president, and, by God, our country did well under him.

Yeah, he made the military smaller. When you're not getting into pointless wars every other couple of years, you don't have to have a large military. It's amazing how much money we can save when we take care of America first, and let other countries take care of themselves for a while, no?

So wait, the President has no control over what a terrorist does?

I guess we better tell the FBI, CIA, NSA and our military to pack up and go home. They're clearly not doing any good, so we better reallocate those resources to something useful.

And heck, it's clearly Congress that has control of the economy. I mean, they're the ones that nominate the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, right? And the Treasury Secretary? Oh, and they're the ones that sign passed bills into law, too. And clearly, they're the ones that told the banking industry to lever up 30:1 buying up assets that would tank. Right?

You are the one that is showing your colors, if you think a President has control over what a Terrorist does you are just being simple minded, what a president does have control over is when a country offers up Osama Bin Laden on a silver platter and he turns it down several times.

I am about as non partisan as you are going to find but I am smart enough to realize that the dems blind worship of WJC is empty. The guy was a great politician as someone said, he was a smooth talker(sound familiar democratic party) but he largely lacked substance...he didnt have to deal with the issues that GW has, when the decisions are tougher you make bad ones sometimes and obviously GW has done that. You guys want to bash good ol GW and talk about his approval rating and this and that, look at the senates approval rating and they are...yes, Democratic. What the hell have they accomplished in two plus years?

Your description of how the economy works in relation to the president is humorous, its not quite as simple as you are trying to make it. YOu might want to add a few details in there that you conveniently leave out.

Trust me, I know it's not that simple, which is why I find your implication that it's the Democratic Congress' fault we're here to be revoltingly ignorant.

It'd be just as rediculously stupid to try to blame it all on GW. Neither of them has that much control. If they did, we'd never have a goddamn recession, ever.

The reality is that it's really hard to control an economy when you really don't know what's going on until maybe a year after the fact.

Sorta kinda...not really. It has far less to do with WJC than with the Congress during the last four years of his Presidency and the Congress during Bush's first term, to which the nation delivered a well-deserved "get the **** out" a few years back.

Or even further back.

We're still reaping dividends from the Marshall Plan, good policy in Japan post-WWII, and blow-back from supporting Operation Ajax and from supporting the Mujahadeen. (Among many other examples.)

http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/blog_mass_destruction/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/bill-and-hillary.jpg
I had to go to a Shrink Eval On ****ing MEMORIAL day
After the Nov, elections I had quit watching TeeVee , Listening to Radio or reading The News Papers.
Why you Might ask ?
Cause I said then It was the LAST Insult this country was Gonna put on Me as Nam Vet( electin that POS pres.)
Ive Told the People since then to Kiss My *** .
Short story Long . The 1st question the shrink asked Me ( after they Put me in a small room Bymyself)
Was " Waht do you think Of Clinton " I froze ( i had been pacing like a Tiger in a ****ing Cage )
My words " That Draft dodgin queer loving POS "
The shrink said "OK " that tells Me what you think of HIM . But what I was gonna ask is " What do you think Of klinton Giving a speech today ( remember this was MEMORIAL day 92 )at the Viet Nam Memorial ?
Then I froze solid and said " WHAT" ?
Gotta remember I hadnt turned On a TV or anything after he got elected .
He said Yea klinton is speakin today at the Wall .
I asked Is this Between you and ME ?
He said YUP .
My answer .
" If I had known, Id have been there to ***** his azz ."
So do yall have a Clue as to what i Think of either of em ?
Hell I sent an Email to to the BASTARD . Every one said Oh shat the SS is gonna be knockin on yer door .
it was 3 years later that I found out that the Nam vets Present that day
when the prick started to speak Yelled " ABOUT FACE "
and turned their Backs On him

Say what you will about Bill Clinton's presidency, but the terrorists didn't fly planes into the WTC until the Republicans took over the White House.

How is it the Clinton lovers always forget 1993?

Or the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia which killed 5 US servicemen, or the 1996 al-Khobar towers bombing that killed 19 and injured 200 US servicemen, or the 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa that killed 257 and injured 5000, or the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000.

All addressed by police action (exempting a few missiles in the mountains of Afghanistan), hamstrung by the Saudis or Yemenis in almost every case.

Nice track record, Bill.
