He was merely keeping the chair in the Oval Office warm for Hillary. He was a human "seat occupied" sign for his wife, who wanted to be the first female president.
That doesn't make any sense. In the 1990s, it was evident that if Mrs. Clinton was going to run for President, it couldn't happen before 2008. Was Clinton accomplishing nothing to 'keep the seat warm' for Gore? No, Clinton actively disliked Gore and they never did each other any favors. Oh wait, there was a Republican congress that spent two years impeaching him. Maybe that had something to do with it.
I'm not to sure she will make that 'first president' thing; the way the things are stacking up in the House and Senate, I would say that Missus Pelosi will be doing that....
Now what will be interesting to watch, is what happens to Missus Pelosi when Missus Clinton finally figures out what is going on....Missus Clinton might be billed as the smartest woman in the world, but I think she's minus a few hamburgers short a happy meal....
