Not to disparage your Mom, but maybe her memory is fading. Clinton left a total disgrace, the allegation of rape against Juanita Broaddrick, the Paul Jones and Kathleen Willey allegations of sexual assault, the embarrassment of impeachment, the loss of his law license, all the corruption in his administration, the semen stained rug in the oval office being ripped up and replaced by Bush, the list is endless...
The MSM has done it’s usual PR campaign to try and resurrect this insuferable turd, but he remains in the minds of most American, the man who disgraced the Presidency unlike no-one before or after him. He’s still the brunt of dirty email jokes. Comedians still make fun of his adolescent sexual behaviour.
Your Mom needs to go online and refresh her memory. Bill Clinton goes down in history as the President who was having sex in the oval office with the blimp who was young enough to be his daughter, the President who was shuving cigars up his blimp’s Boy Howdy.
It’s been a while, but I’m reminded of the great line Deb Weiss write to describe the Rapists. “This is a soul so small God Himself cannot perceive it without a magnifying glass.”
Have your Mom read the whole article by Deb Weiss - “ A Bloated Irrelvancy “

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.
And yet even in spite of all of that he managed to leave office with a 66% approval rating. On some unfathomably evil level, he never ceases to amaze.
