Clinton's Legacy

With the Clinton Presidential Library openning today in Little Rock, what do you think was more important? His economic accomplishments, international accomplishments or the scandals?

His inspiration to artists...

I think the scandals are a footnote. I think overall he was a good president & served us as well as he could.

ha ha ha ha ha I love that one!




But really who keeps a semen covered dress? I mean really?

what scandals..the only one was with monica. All the other ken lay "scandals" where bogus and dismissed along with millions in tax payers money in fees he charged.


god i wish for days when a president worst sin against the country was to get a blow job from an intern.

Can you remeber his bombing of Iraq on the eve of the House impeachment debate? Remeber the Sudanese pharmaceutical plant? That was kind of dumb.

not to mention the whole globalisation thing. jobs, anyone?

The same person who is gullible enough to trust a person like Linda Tripp.

Yeah but if I remember right in Feb of 2000 bush decided to do some more bombing of Iraqi military instilations...

I think dumping a load is less of a sin than sending over 1000 us servicemen to die without any real justification.

You mean Ken Starr. The Ken Lay scandal was all too real.

"No, YOU 'da man!"

what is a presidential library, exactly? i've never been to one. can you rent crappy DVDs for free, or buy weed from people deep in the upstairs aisles?

His accomplishments in office are obviously more important but the scandal will always be more memorable.

I actually met Mr. Clinton in the airport in New York. He was a nice guy.

let's not forget the oh so wonderful deregulation of the FCC. thanks, billy, you fucker.

What would the secret service do if all the ex-presidents got in a big fight and started whaling on each other?

Start taking bets.

i would bet on '41

Oh please. Clinton isn't to blame for "globalisation".

If you mean NAFTA, I'd have a look at (ardent liberal and anti-Bushie) economist Brad DeLong's take on it:

1. The Great Sucking Sound.

2. A view from 2000.

Take 'em *all* down.

They asked a question like this on the McLaughlin group last weekend. Someone answered that his presidency was the beginning of the political/cultural split among Americans that we' have seen so much of lately. It obviously wasn't him alone, Newt and his cronies had just as much (if not more) to do with it. I dunno...

My money's on H.W. Bush.

I dunno, Carter is ex-navy and spent all those years farming and building houses. I bet he's got game. H.W. seems a bit soft and complacent. He's always had others do his dirty work.

True...but he was the head of the CIA. Those dudes are creepy. They know stuff.

shit, clinton would be the bookie...
