Apart from sticking out his lower lip and hugging people, what did Clinton do that suggests leadership abilities?

I don't like Slick Willy personally, but here are some good decisions he made :


1) Welfare Reform ( admittedly, he fought it, but signed it later after Dick Morris told him it was a winner ).

2) Capital Gains tax reduction from 28% to 20%.

3) Property gains tax exemption for the first $500,000 of profits.

4) For conservative free traders, he steadfastly pushed NAFTA.


I don't know if interfering in Bosnia and Kosovo and eventually capturing Milosevic counts as equivalent to freeing Iraq from Saddam Hussein.

Milosevic gave up power in October 2000 (after losing an election) but didn't surrender to Serbian authorities and get sent to the Hague until 2001 (after Clinton left office).
