Was he a good president? Does it matter what he did in his personal life? Did he make America great again? ---

I don’t think the greatness of our land is all that influenced by our Prez. I think Clinton was half-assed. Don’t ask, don’t tell? That’s not leadership. And President’s don’t get a ‘private life’. Everything they do while in office counts. I’m a disillusioned a Dem. ---

I must assume that the purpose of your post is to stir the shit with a big stick and that your tongue is planted firmly in cheek as you write. Please, say it’s so! The only positive impact that Clinton’s presidency had on my life was that his election caused me to swear off television. With a couple of rare exceptions I haven’t suckled at the glass teat since 1992 when I watched in abject horror as the media slid his fat ass straight into the oral office. ---

Yes, no, and no. 66% agreement with **Unc** / Not bad. Is there a debate here, or should Slythe take over? ---

No. No such thing as a private life - but yes, character counts No. ---

No. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Did he make America great again? \*\* No. He didn’t really do much more harm then any other president would have done. Marc ---

Every one of his detractors say that the greatest economy boom, and budget within memory was not caused by Clinton. But if the economy had gone in the toilet, they sure would have blamed it on him. They want to have it both ways. I don’t give a rats ass if he did get a knobjob in the oval Office- that does not detract from the fact they we are on the road to economic recovery, away from the brink of disaster. But the facts will not disuade the Clinton haters. Nor will any amount of debateing change anyones mind. Clinton was the antichrist to his haters from the moment he took office- all the scandals just gave them a chance to say “SEE. SEE!!”.
