most overrated president of my lifetime. his economy was fixed by the computer and dotcom explosion in the 90's, plus the housing market. nowadays (think urban sprawl), most people only want to buy new houses so its almost impossible to sell your old one. this was great for a while, but caught up to us eventually. if you look back, the last year or two of his economy was in an absolute free fall. bush took over and we had one of the shortest recessions ever. also clinton was a little girl about admitting his faults. "I didnt inhale" and "I did NOT have sex with that woman" come on buddy, be a man and admitt it! the guy simply did NOTHING impressive in office! i dont necessarily think he was a bad president, he was alright just completely overrated. he was really very moderate which is why he was so popular. democrats anymore nominate their most extreme party members (john kerry, barrack obama) which is why they will continue to lose presidential elections. (their recent congress acheivements were won by moderates like bill)
