True, but it was only because the internet was born under his watch. Granted, Bush would've found a way to fuck that up too.

By the time the .com boom was done, we were entering the beginning of a slight recession when Clinton left office.

Props to him for not launching any unnecessary wars, though.

LOL, but aren't righties crying about the deficit? I thought that was the biggest issue.

Clinton gave America a surplus, didn't he?

Clinton was dragged into a more fiscally conservative government when the congress was overtaken in 1994... recognizing he needed to change policy in order to stay in office. Pragmatism is a pretty good thing in a President.


And no, no realized surplus ever materialized. The Congress and the President gave us some projected surplus budgets but outspent them every time. We were so close. Too bad they simply took all the Social Security money that was left in the "account" to do it.
 
Clinton's was the last fiscally responsible gov't America had. He got out of the way to let the dot-com boom realize its full potential; he genuinely worked WITH Congress, to both sides' benefit; he loudly pronounced that we need a smaller, smarter gov't; he & Congress made the last sincere effort to actually balance the budget; he had his veep oversee a project called "reinventing government" that was making very good headway into reducing bloated bureaucracy costs before it was completely abandoned by the Bush admin for partisan reasons.

I opposed his military actions, but he was the best President of my lifetime overall.

Funny that righties can't seem to give ol' BJ credit where credit's due.

Bullshit. Clinton, like Obama after him, was saddled with a huge deficit spending legacy of the GOP administrations which preceded him. Knowing deficits DO MATTER, he did what was needed.

clinton was a great president.
 
I would vote for Clinton in a heartbeat. He's not an ideologue like Obama, and overall he was a pretty good President.
 
Clinton was the death of liberalism in the United States. Let him rot in obscurity. We have a aggressive war being waged against the American people by rightists in the Untied States. Their is no room for appeasers.

:rolleyes: Right.... He knew it was the right thing to do but didn't do it until suddenly it mattered when he lost both houses. Serious history revisionism right here and now.

He tried to enact a liberal agenda, realised there was no money available, then worked on the deficit.
Spin it however you need to to feel good about yourself.
 
No I don't wish Clinton could run again.

But I did enjoy watching him kick the shit out of Republicans. THe best part was they would always pick the fight. And they never learned.

You can see the bitterness this left in their lackies by reading their posts about Clinton even all these years later.

Beating up and destroying Republicans was the best thing about him. But I don't miss him otherwise.
