Thanks for the correction, John. I don’t really know much about the presidents between Lincoln and McKinley.
Bucky, Clinton is not the only president to incur a tremendous amount of hate before taking office. You should read what some of the politicos and newspapers had to say about the Lincolns before and during the Civil War. Before Reagan took office, to hear the American Left tell it, he was going to bring back the Spanish Inquistion and the Golden Horde of Tamerlane. I even remember that stupid bitch, Dr. Helen Caldicott, declaring that there was a mathematical certainity that Reagan was going to cause nuclear war. Yet, we are still here.
BTW, for those of you who think the economic boom is solely Clinton’s responsibility, I heard an NPR report this morning that the current expansion actually began during Bush’s last year or two of office. I said it before and I’ll say it again: a good economy is determined by many other factors than who sits in the Oval Office.
I agree with John, people; he isn’t going to be remembered 100 years from now.
