Here are but just a brief sampling of what specifically the Clinton's have done, for you, for me, for Americans.
Ranked in 2015 as the 8th best president in United States history. The guy that worked tirelessly as a public servant. Created 22 million jobs. The guy that took the biggest deficit in U.S. history and turned it into the biggest surplus IN HISTORY. The same guy that, due to all of his accomplishments, said that state of the union has never been better, something no other president has been able to say, before or since.
The guy's a champion.
Deficits Replace By Surpluses: Keeping Us On Track to Be Debt Free by 2009 That's not annual budget debt free, that's public debt, the total U.S. deficit debt free. And all starting with the largest annual deficit handed to him by GHWB, $290B and forecast to continue to be over $455B annually by the end of 2000. But that didn't happen as we all know. He ended 2000 with a $124B surplus and forecast budget surpluses for as far as the eye could see.
Government Spending: Lowest in Over Three Decades
Taxes for Typical Families: Lowest in Over Two Decades
Jobs Are Up: Nearly 21 Million Created Since January 1993
Faster Economic Growth: 3.9 Percent Per Year. That easily clears Reagan's 2.8%. An era in which he had to support the economy with budget deficits to accomplish.
Homeownership Is Up: The Highest in American History
Inflation is Down: The Lowest Core Rate In 35 Years
Unemployment Is Down: The Lowest Rate in 30 Years
Unemployment for African Americans the Lowest on Record
Unemployment for Hispanics Recovered From Record Highs to Achieve Record Lows
Real Wages Rising Again: Fastest Growth in Two Decades
Poverty For African-Americans Dropped to Lowest On Record
Poverty For Hispanics Dropped to Lowest Since 1979
Poverty For Single Mothers is the Lowest On Record
Family Income Up More Than $5,000 Since 1993
Federal spending as a share of the economy is the lowest since 1966.
A SMALLER BUT MORE PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT - reversing twelve years when the Republicans exploded the deficit and more than quadrupled the debt. At the same time, the Clinton-Gore Administration has made investments in everything from education to science and technology to health care to tax relief for working families.
And the list goes on for days. I'll end up with writer's cramp trying to get it all in. I may end up breaking DU in the process and I'd rather not do that. But from all the accomplishments above to every field below, Clinton-Gore made America better. They invested in our future and the results speak for themselves.

It's all there in the open for all to see. It's all listed on the Web and at his presidential library. What turns people off most though is that it's as deep as a fractal zoom on a Mandelbrot Set. Program after program, investment after investment, one success story after another.
Is that not specific enough?
