During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare roles. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.

After the failure in his second year of a huge program of health care reform, Clinton shifted emphasis, declaring "the era of big government is over." He sought legislation to upgrade education, to protect jobs of parents who must care for sick children, to restrict handgun sales, and to strengthen environmental rules.

President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe IV on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident. When he was four years old, his mother wed Roger Clinton, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In high school, he took the family name.

He excelled as a student and as a saxophone player and once considered becoming a professional musician. As a delegate to Boys Nation while in high school, he met President John Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden. The encounter led him to enter a life of public service.

Clinton was graduated from Georgetown University and in 1968 won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. He received a law degree from Yale University in 1973, and entered politics in Arkansas.

He was defeated in his campaign for Congress in Arkansas's Third District in 1974. The next year he married Hillary Rodham, a graduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School. In 1980, Chelsea, their only child, was born.

Clinton was elected Arkansas Attorney General in 1976, and won the governorship in 1978. After losing a bid for a second term, he regained the office four years later, and served until he defeated incumbent George Bush and third party candidate Ross Perot in the 1992 presidential race.

Clinton and his running mate, Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore Jr., then 44, represented a new generation in American political leadership. For the first time in 12 years both the White House and Congress were held by the same party. But that political edge was brief; the Republicans won both houses of Congress in 1994.

In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president.

In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia and bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international trade, and a worldwide campaign against drug trafficking. He drew huge crowds when he traveled through South America, Europe, Russia, Africa, and China, advocating U.S. style freedom.

He was found not guilty as part of a deal, not the evidence against him.

In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia and bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

Gee, how surprising--no mention of dropping the ball and getting 19 US troops killed in Somalia.

But, to be fair, he could've taken credit for that awesome bombing mission against the Sudanese aspirin factory, too.

[afraidfortherepublic]

He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him.

He was not found "not guilty." The Senate merely failed to kick him out -- calling the charges "immaterial under Scottish Law", or something to that effect!

He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare roles. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus

By cooking the Federal books, as subsequent reports have shown! Shades of Enron!

President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe IV on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident.

No one knows who Billy Bubba's father really was. It is not even clear that his mother was actually married to Blythe, as records exist that show that he was married to someone else at the time.

The next year he married Hillary Rodham, a graduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School. In 1980, Chelsea, their only child, was born.

It is unclear whether, or not, Chelsea is really his child -- since he has claimed to be sterile to many women and because Hillary was enjoying close relationships with at least 2 other men at the time. Chelsea was the product of a political advisor's plan to regain the Governorship.

He apologized to the nation for his actions...

That depends on the meaning of the word "is". He later rescinded most of the 'apology'.

Well, you get the picture!

Yah, I got it.........good deconstruction........thanks.

Clinton didn't have a human father. Beezebubba's conception was probably more like...

Genesis 6:4-5 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

[Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.]

[Young Werther]

This is a trick question! Kinda like the number of angels on a pin.

Hoooo! Haaaaa! Patooey!

Made my day!

(Question is) ......Kinda like the number of angels on a pin.

So many you can't even count 'em......

True, but I betcha if we got Bill a DNA, he might qualify as his "brother" Roger's father.

Great site. I posted the link just the other day on another thread.

"just check out the source link if you want to double-check..."

Oh, I don't doubt you - it's just that if I were going to do a (Coulteresque) sarcastic profile of the Klinton years, this is what it would look like.
I mean, can there still be breathing Americans who believe ANY of this?

[Orual]

They forgot to include this and the fact that he never successfully completed his Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford.
