I've felt this way for quite awhile. I feel he didn't live up to his potential and squandered away an awful lot with his shennanigans.

He screwed up health care reform, boosted globalization without putting in any safeguards, and signed telecomm deregulation which has given us Clear Channel, et al.

He (and his Mr. Ecology VP) backed away from higher CAFE standards and screwed up that incinerator issue in Ohio.

He showed us how to beat the GOP, inspiring much hatred on their part. On the other hand he gave them so much to work with.

Clinton did plenty of good and I'd take him back in a heartbeat over the current * but all in all he was a disappointment.
