I think you’re missing the point I was making. I’m not talking about a legacy. I’m talking about how much he liked and enjoyed the office, and when he left, he wasn’t haggard and gray like so many other presidents.

Men of real conscience are usually very happy to leave. It’s a burden hard to bear. They age. Have you seen Bush giving interviews? He’s thrilled. He’s “fairly out, and you are fairly in. Let’s see who is happiest!”, as Adams thought Washington was thinking.

Clinton loved the office, and was up to the difficulties of it. When he left, he was so unwilling to leave he gave a speech at a hangar! And today, even though I think his health is giving him problems, he sparkled at that podium.

As a side note, I took a good look at Obama. He is NOT happy. The crossed arms, the clenched jaw, the forced smile, the hand up at his face. Then walking out while Clinton did his thing.

Obama is in real trouble. My guess is the Clintons are moving in on this inadequate man. I don’t know what they have up their sleeve, but they are in the game again, and they are having a great time.

Obama made a deal with Clinton to get elected and I think he regrets it. I also think that the Clinton people Obama brought in was giving him bad advise.. Plain and simple.

I didn't like Clinton, but he is a good speaker..

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rapist & The PIAPS have the goods on Obambi. Their thug detectives had uncovered the college and earlier school records that Obambi has been keeping out of the public view, at some expense. They may have the documents to prove he's a foreigner, applied for grants as a foreigner, was registered as another nationality when he went to school in Malaysia.

Clinton loved the attention of being President and he was hardly up to the difficulties of it. He partied for 8 years, chased pussy and traveled the world playing the big shot. He looked and sounded good, but he was a fraud also.

He achieved nothing of any significance in 8 years. He takes credit for welfare reform and balancing the budget, but these were GOP initiatives, he signed begrudgingly against the protestations of the upper echelon of the democrat party. He accomplished nothing on the world stage, in fact many would argue that his failed policies in the Middle East actually inflamed the region, after a rather calm period. His failed attempt to rescue American troops in Somalia remains one of the most embarrassing military moments in post-Vietnam era. He couldn't pull the trigger when he had to, he was too afraid it might backfire, so a group of American soldiers are dragged through the streets of Mogadishu. Then the Branch Davidian disaster, as under Bubba’s watch Reno and the AFT burned up all the religious nuts and their little kiddies.

I'm glad we wasn't trying to redesign America, like this current fraud in office now, but Clinton could have tried to do something; maybe social security reform, medicare reform, something that would have made a difference? He was having to good a time being the big shot.

You may be spending too much time listening to the MSM and all this crap about what a great President the Rapist was. Truth is, he was a real failure not only morally, but as an effective leader. He did achieve anything important, anything memorable, besides shoving a cigar up Monica's Boy Howdy.
