Bill Clinton

I did not like a number of things he did, but he doesn't scare me nearly as much as Barack Obama does. One South American country did award Clinton the title "Most Macho" President after the Lewinsky debacle. Clinton was underestimated by many Northerners just because he came from the South and that is not good, since we have had many dumb candidates from Northern States too. Clinton is much much more shrewd than many smug, arrogant New England politicians give him credit for. He's far more intelligent than Kennedy, Dodd,Leahy and several other New England Senators that want to look down on non New England areas of the country.

BILL CLINTON IS THE CAUSE OF THE MESS WE ARE IN NOW,HE PRESSURED FANNIE MAE TO START THE IGNORANT LENDING PRACTICES THAT GOT US HERE.

Bill Clinton is the one to blame for all the mess in the world now not Bush. It took the 8 years Clinton was in office to get us to the 9/11 attack and thereafter. Bush is reaping what Clinton sewed which is not good for any of us. Bush has been trying to clean up Clinton mess for 8 years and run the country. We were doomed the second term of Clinton , actually we were doomed when Clinton beat George Bush Sr. lets call the kettle black where it is due. Bush couldn't fix the country in 4, 8 but maybe 12 if that was an option. As i have always said 4 years is not enough for a president to get things done it should be 5 year term. I'm surprised things aren't worse than they are. Bush you sure wasn't given much to work with. I hold you and your father in high standards with much respect for all your hard work and loyalty to us Americans. No other man could have done better or even come close to what you have done.

bill clinton is a piece of crap. he is a liar, cheater, adulterer, thief, and should be hung for treason. not to mention a sex addict. he totally disgraced the oval office by shooting his load all over monicas face and dress in it. what a disgrace, how would bill and hitlary like it if george bush shot is hot sticky load of man juice all over chelseas face and dress like he did to monica? not to mention he desimated the cia, fbi and military, allowing the sand nigers to take down the twin towers. only a total idiot would think clinton is anything but what he is, a sick piece of white trash.

made some very bad mistake,during his time in office. and just lately try to divided the country by color again i just  don't trust this man.

The only impeached elected president in history. Lies under oath and denies someones civil right to a fair trial. Very poor example for the children of today.

I think people like him in retrospect because of Bush and neocons as the alternative. But his pursual of neo-liberalism was relentless.

What was great about Bill Clinton was that the American people could relate to him - he had a highly visible human side - he wasn't afraid to show emotion, and was highly skilled in the art of communication.  It's something so many politicians lack today.  Sure he made a lot of mistakes.  But he also achieved some great things, including economic policies that helped create millions of jobs.  A lot of people criticize his morals and ethics, but fail to acknowledge that he wasn't running on a eunuch platform - he was running as a politician and a democrat, and I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the people who call him immoral have done the same or worse - they just haven't been caught!

Go Bill you Rock!

Bill Clinton's economic policies worked. However, if Newt Gingrich had not won in 1994, welfare reform would never have been signed and taxes would have increased. Clinton was corrupt and a liar.

So much better than George W. Bush that it's laughable, he didn't see the need to get the US involved in any needless longterm "war". Plus those brain dead conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh hated him, really a big plus.

A genuine embarrasment to America - and to himself.  The ultimate lying, self-serving polititian.

One of the worst presidents in history, he was an embarrassment to the American Presidency.  And Hillary is even worse.

3 stars represent the balance of good and bad. Much very good, and much very bad.

UPDATE: I am hoping and praying that Hillary is elected the new president..as she so deserves it. I don't feel she will be as great as her husband was..but almost. OLD REVIEW: The greatest president of all time ! Words cannot express how well he ran this country during his presidency. I will say my family and friends felt so much safer when he was our leader. Not only did we feel safe and secure, but we felt like our country was going in the right direction. He is already missed so much by so many people. I wished he could be the leader of our great country again. We need him back in Washington ! We love you President Clinton !

I don't know how he can sleep at night Maybe Monica helps him. And I don't know how he can appear on TV as though everything is just fine. I think maybe he has several personalities. Come on Bill, tell us your secret.

The delusional postings of the Bubba-haters below make entertaining reading, but they have little basis in reality. Bill Clinton was a perfectly adequate-though unexceptional-president. He was a lousy head of state (dishonest, philandering, crass, arrogant) but a competent economic manager, though some of the credit here probably goes to Robert Rubin. He also did an OK job in foreign policy-certainly much better than the current administration, whatever Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh may believe. Clinton overcame some very serious obstacles, most notably a well-mobilized, incredibly hostile Republican Congress that wanted his head on a pike. Clinton also had one of the worst cabinets in presidential history (only those of Carter and GW Bush compare in mediocrity). This was partly Clinton's fault, in aiming for dubious goal of a 'diverse' cabinet rather than a competent one. Mostly, however, it was because the Dems had been out of power so long that the talent pool for Cabinet memb... Read more

Jack Kennedy had Camelot. Bill Clinton had Came A Lot. Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

He did have a little bit of entertainment value but other than that, he didn't do much for me.

An American embarrassment. The liar in chief. I just love the way he took care of that terrorist problem that was developing through his whole presidency, the way he gave us the highest tax hike in history, cut the military budget to shreds amoung other fun things that endear him to me so much

Best president of my lifetime. A brilliant man and a true humanitarian. I wish I could vote for him again.

SEX ASIDE, Clinton had an ostrich policy for dealing with terrorism and played too nice with China. NAFTA is a disgrace that's screwing our job market and the "boom" of the 90's economically was alot of bad credit in the making. He has some strengths, but even without the BJ we still have alot to talk about. To think I didn't even mention Hillary!

Most of you people who blast Clinton are talking about his sex life which is personal. You have quickly and conveniently forgotten that he turned the deficit spending of the Reagan/Bush Sr. years into a surplus, created a strong economy and prosperity in the US and negotiated with other countries for peaceful solutions to problems. He was very smart (unlike our vocabulary challenged president today) and at least read up on world events which George W has admitted he doesn't do. Clinton cared about the common man, the plight of AIDS, famine and oppression in the world. Unlike the Bush administrations (Sr and Jr) Clinton didn't go to war to please the Pentagon and the warmongers of the mentioned administrations. Clinton was far from perfect but he was a far better president than any we have had in years.

Best president the US has had since JFK.

Bill Clinton is one of the most wonderful men who's ever been in office. He did great things for the common man.

no morals, and yes morals are important.

He could get any chick he wanted.

Clinton's work isn't done. Before it is, I believe before it is over he will be a five star leader.

The consummate confidence man. No moral compass and no convictions. Clinton would slaver over you one minute and renounce you the next. Check out the tape of him at Ron Brown's funeral. Having been raised in a dysfunctional family without a father, Slick Willie grew up wanting to please everybody. He and Hillary owed allegiance to no one but themselves. They would have sold the country for a song if public opinion polls showed the idiot American public thought it a good idea. The Slickmeister should have lived in the 19th century, selling snake oil and other cure-alls. He would've been a millionaire. Hell, he conned the American people into electing him twice!

A brilliant man who could have been a great President, if he had been discreet in his sexual shananigans, and kept it out of the oval office. Yes discreet, but he wasn't discreet, he was stupid, and reckless, and try the patience of a gifted wife, who has more common sense, and may be the first woman President in 2008

Scandals Part Two..... L is for Craig Livingstone, the ex-bar bouncer with a history of drug use who was the head of White House security. Two FBI agents say it was Hillary Clinton who demanded his hiring, which she denies. Disgraced Clinton political guru Dick Morris's hooker pal, Sherry Rowlands, claims Morris told her a "paranoid" Hillary Clinton was behind Filegate. He says he only told her that's what polls show. M is for Jim and Susan McDougal, the Clintons' Whitewater partners, both of whom have been convicted of fraud. Jim McDougal is said to be helping Whitewater independent counsel Starr. Susan McDougal is in jail for refusing to say whether President Clinton lied when he denied knowing about an illegal $300,000 loan to bail out Whitewater. The loan wasn't repaid, and taxpayers were left holding the bag. M is also for disgraced political guru Dick Morris. N is for Bernard Nussbaum, the former White House lawyer who barred federal investigators from searching Vince Fost... Read more

I didn't vote for Clinton and of course he was a liar but if you had Hillary right by your side you'd lie too. But she amazed me how well she took it when she found out. Don't you know there was a lot of Prozac being consumed by the Secret Service as they had to protect Clinton not only from the public outside the White House but Hillary inside the White House. The statement made by Texas Congressman Dick Armey seem more logical than what we saw with Hillary. When he was asked, " If you had been in President Clinton's place would you have resigned?" Armey's Reply: "If I had been in the presidents place I would not have gotten the chance to resign. I would have been lying in a pool of my own blood, looking up, and listening to my wife ask, ' How do you reload this damn thing?" Anyway, I always liked Bill but always disliked Hillary as a fake. I felt a little sorry for their daughter. I can't say that Clinton was a good president or even accomplished much but he was very likable... Read more

One of the best president's the US has ever had, but I am not a citizen of the US. Unlike Reagan, Clinton was alive and well to do his job. Unlike Bush sr. he knew how to communicate to the people he was there for. Unlike Bush jr. he knew how to make friends. Sure, he had his faults, he made a big mistake with Monica Lewinsky. But aren't mistakes concerning life or death something on a whole other level. Reagan had Iran- Contra, Bush jr. had Iraq, New Orleans. Compared to those three presidents I think Clinton is absolutely the best. He is intelligent, he can inspire and comfort people. He knows what he is talking about unlike Reagan during his presidency or Bush jr. They read aloud what advisors wrote. Clinton will be remembered for his affair that is his own fault. But I will remember more about him: the guy had charisma, the guy tried medicare for all people in the US and failed, the guy made speeches that inspired me, the guy actually loved people, and when the guy laughed I la...

One of the most intelligent presidents we have ever had. Like the MO Secretary of State said of him at church one Sunday, he must be doing a wonderful job as president if the other side can't criticize anything but lying to his family about a sex act Not that it is right, and I was deeply disappointed (about the act) but if we threw out all the politicians who have done this, there would be very few people left in Washington or the state capitols.

Wow what a fool and horrible role model. Sure we all want sex in the oval office if you get my drift. But common you are sposed to be our moral leader and look at what a wondeful example he set for our youth and married couples. Not only that but terrible taste in women.

The worst president during my lifetime. Dishonest to the core and either didn't understand or care about what the founding fathers of our country intended for the United States to be. Zero character. His lasting legacy will be at least one generation of Americans who have a difficult time distinguishing between right and wrong.

Could have been a transformational president and turned out to be. Unfortunately for him, all the wrong reasons. Still, the first baby boomer in the White House who lived a uniquely American story.

Great Leader? Nah. I liked this slick redneck- I voted for him. . .but he was a clever centrist democrat who had a decent teunure marked with some baffling administrative hires (Jocelyn Elders?). People trying to slap the 'liberal' label on Clinton certainly didn't work in DC in the 90's. . .I met liberal democrats who felt 'betrayed' by Clinton's centrism but stuck by him anyways. . .Clinton was a quintissential late 20th century politician- but in no way does that mean he was a 'great 20th century leader'

One of the best campaigners in American History.

Do I hate Clinton's politics? Mostly. But, I won't call him an idiot just because I don't like him. He was perhaps one of the most intelligent people to occupy the White House. He was, however, a skilled liar and his presidency was marked by repugnant behavior of various kinds. For all the mans faults though, he was not dumb. Few people could have done what he did and get away with this. I guess its a testament to how much people were swayed by his charisma.

I don't consider having sex with interns and pardoning your buddies as being a great leader. Oddly, he seems to fit the role better as an ex-president.

despite being attacked constantly by republicans that were putting real issues on the backburner while they tried to nail him for infidelity pres. clinton got a lot done. the people that call clinton a bad president are probably the same people that beat off to the ken star report.

Bill Clinton visited California many times during his presidency and is one of the brightest men to hold the office since JFK. I give him the highest rating.

An intelligent southerner who managed to bring America together, sort of. Would be nice to have him back in control. Hope he doesnt die. Anytime soon I mean.

Disgraceful man, if you can't trust the president who can you trust, chasing after women when he should have been chasing after Osama bin Ladin, the all time worst in USA presidents.....

Not a great president, but was NOT worse than Hitler! What the hell is up with this website?

A good looking president. Doesn't happen very often. Not my type but a handsome man. And charming.

The real question should be...how bright, intelligent, sharp, and well-meaning is any politician; or person, to become President in the first place! having said that and comparing to the recent history of Presidents, Clinton would be high on my scale; both past and present.

I am so sick of pinhead liberals like Canadasucks and Scarlett feather talking about peace and prosperity under Clinton. Peace what peace? You liberals seem to forget that in 1993 under Clinton the World Trade Center was bombed by Islamic Terrorists. Also under Clinton the USS Cole was bombed, several American embassies were bombed, we attacked Yugoslavia and Bosnia, and of course as Canadasucks so graciously mentioned the Oklahoma city bombing. Economic prosperity? THis of course was all Clinton's doing huh? BZZZZZ! Wrong it's called the internet boom. The high tech/internet market exploded and gave us the economic prosperity not Clinton. And when the high tech/internet sector bubble burst while Clinton was still in office we started losing jobs and the economy turned south and liberals blamed of course Geroge Bush. Clinton just happened to be in the right place at the right time during the .com boom and you liberal pinheads call Clinton an economic genius but not one of you ca... Read more

But the scariest part is, he can come back to White House in 4 years as a First Man, First Gentleman.
