Carter. Harding. Buchanan. Wilson. Hoover. Even Nixon (detente, ugh). Clinton was not the worst president we've ever had. He was below-average to average. He failed on many levels, but the country did not crumble because of him. That he did little to avert terrorism is true, but virtually no one foresaw the danger of Islamofascism until it struck us on our home soil. He was hoping to enjoy the peace that the Fall of the USSR promised, albeit illusory. Clinton was an embarrassment, not a bane. People should not claim he is the greatest president simply because he is so recent; neither should they label him the worst for that reason.

"That he did little(as in nothing)to avert terrorism is true, but virtually no one(?except for maybe Olie North)foresaw the danger of Islamofascism until it struck us on our home soil(the second time)."

Carter-same guy as Clinton except with some morals. Clinton is even following in Carter's footsteps somewhat in his bid to be some great world wide nice guy.
I'll have to read more on Harding, Buchanan and Wilson, but I disagree about Hoover.
