William Jefferson Clinton was unarguably the best President we ever had. Period. If in doubt, let's
look at the country for those 8 glorious years: The economy was doing great; unemployment rates were
at their lowest; very well planned foreign policy; great advances were made in certain parts of the
world under his watch - Good Friday Treaty in Ireland, Apartheid ended in South Africa. What WASN'T
good about his Presidency? Yes, he had an affair with an intern - but it was a mistake and a
personal one, one that did not affect the state of the nation. One that I think Hillary should have
beat him with a cactus for, but I won't go into that...
Needless to say, all that was for nothing given the hole Bush and buddies have put this country in.
Hillary '08!!
"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it'll take another Clinton to clean up after
this one!" |

Let's be real Clinton was the best president we ever had. I don`t care about his personal issues.
But his wife? Who knows I go for Obama now. |

In my lifetime, I believe Clinton was the best president, certainly compared to that moron currently
in the Oval Office.
He was well liked and his policies were beneficial to a lot of people, he improved American economy,
kept America from War, and he was well liked.
I'd like to see Hillary as President, so perhaps some of the damage that Bush has caused will be
repaired and American can put these dark few years behind them and start regaining respect on a
global scale. |

Well, I am going to debate for this. I do believe that President Clinton was the best president that
America has seen in a while. He may not have been the absolute best president, but I think he did
more for the American people than all of the republican presidents put together. As they say, "It
took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush. Now, it will take another Clinton to clean up after
this Bush." Bill Clinton did so much to help the poor people, the economy of the country, and more.
Above all, he kept us out of war and protected our interests in overseas relations. Bill Clinton was
great president who did way more than either Bush ever did. I hope that Hillary wins so that America
can once again be the great country that it was meant to be. |

No, the best president of the 20th century was Franklin Roosevelt, for his progressive economic
policies and wartime leadership. |

What most people do not seem to realize is that the economy is cyclical. While one administration
may seem to have stimulated the economy, it could very well be the result of the prior
administration's efforts. I personally do not think that Bill Clinton's private life should have
been put on such display because he had a young daughter and she was shown no respect by having her
father drug through a media frenzy. That being said, I do not find it honorable that the man had an
affair in office. I do believe he was incredibly bright, but to be a politician one needs more than
brains. He was basically a disgrace to our nation. On top of that, he always had the look that he
was up to something. I find that to be a bit shifty. I have some sympathy for the man due to the
media being all over him in regard to his affair. He is not the first President to have an affair
while in office. I think he is the one who was caught red handed. |

Clinton continued the deregulation of housing and finacial markets and the dismantling of system
safeguards set up after the great depression that have played a part in the current economic
downturn.
Not to mention Nafta. |

Bill Clinton rode the wave of prosperity!!! He had nothing to do with it!!> :-( |

Clinton was an arrogant womaniser that did everything for his own profit! |

One thing that really stood out to me,which i didn't like, was that he severely cut down on
military, so as to that they weren't really getting paid anything. You see, i'm part of a military
family,and soon to join the U.S. Military, it kinda hurt when he did that |

FDR and Slick Willie, or should I say, Sick Willie Clinton, were the greatest disappointments to the
human race, in the history of History.
Spit on their presidencies and on their memories.
Thomas Jefferson, and Ronald Reagan were the only two great Presidents, for certain fact. Period. |

FDR was unquestionably the greatest President of the 20th century. |

Clinton brought disgrace to the Presidency. He lied to the Grand Jury, He loathed the military, he
cut back on the military. He ignored three terrorist attacks, U.S.S. Cole bombing, the bombing of
our Embassy in Beruit, Lebbanon and the first attack on the World Trade Centers. If he had done
something we might not be in Iraq today. Also does the name Whitewater strike a familiar note, and
the name Vince Foster. |

The only reason his term was profitable was because of the Internet boom, and that was not
attributed to him. |

No, Clinton wasn't the best by any means, although compared to the last 8 years, he's lightyears
ahead of anything Bush has ever dreamed of achieving.
As for Clinton and the deficit, he came up with a surplus after making payments to the principle and
interest on the debt, he certainly didn't pay it off. Considering that we're paying about $400
billion a year in just interest right now, that's a considerable achievement, but he still didn't
make a dent in the scheme of things. |

I would probably rate both of the Roosevelt presidents more highly but you make some good points.
Clinton was a great president. Before him, the American budget deficit seemed almost unmanageable.
Amazingly, he managed to turn it around and achieve a surplus. Then along comes another dunderheaded
republican and starts with the soaring deficits again.
Of course, some of his economic achievements may be partly due to the coincidence of his presidency
with the emergence of the internet boom, but he deserves some credit nonetheless. |
