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.
I don’t think he was a great president. I’m saying he LIKED being president, which most men of conscience don’t.
They serve in humility, because they feel their country needs them. Like you said, Clinton spent his time chasing women and getting attention. And if people would stop bothering Barack to DO something, he would be having a great time too. He gets great golf perks, you know. And meeting Paul McCartney, that has to be fun.
The thing is, Clinton was smart enough to pull it off. The press was able to wallpaper over his presidency and make it look good. But even with all the MSM help, Obama is floundering.
I keep thinking, the MSM just went overboard for this man, gave him everything, and built him up like a god. And he STILL looks incompetent. He must be so much more foolish than we can possibly imagine.
