198. Yeah...Clinton was really a bad man....
...the economy was the best we've ever had, the administration had a good handle on terrorism, the U. S. wasn't at war with an entire religio-cultural segment of the world's population, Social Security was untouched/functuioning well, Medicare was doing what it was supposed to do, there were no tax-cuts for the rich, and we had a budget surplus that was supposed to have lasted at least ten years.

Yes, indeed. That Clinton was a real screw-up.

Just think how "bad" things might have gotten if he could have served another term or two.

Newsflash for you: Clinton has been out of office for three years.

The individual currently occupying the White House got there by the efforts of a bloodless coup. IMHO, you ought to be a LOT more concerned about the individual currently, and illegally, occupying the White House instead of bashing a guy that no longer has any political power.
