I've said little, if anything, about Mr. Clinton. I could care-less about either of them personally; what I'm concerned with is policy. However, in an effort to focus on the present: 1.) I think Mr. Clinton was a great domestic policy president. Not so much because of him, but because of the combination of Mr. Clinton and a Republican Congress. 2.) Mr. Clinton had excellent foreign policy. While I can quibble about N. Korea, Mr. Bush has made zero progress in 6 years and you could easily argue he's went backwards. By that standard Mr. Clinton is even if not better. 3.) Mr. Clinton had many character flaws, as does everyone, however I think Monica-gate was a foolish diversion, not to mention a big waste of money. Finally, any standard I have with Mr. Bush applies to Mr. Clinton and vise-versa. I'm not into personalities, I'm into policy. To be frank, you seem to have a deep personal investment in Mr. Bush and/or Republicans that goes much deeper than policy analysis. I don't have that - maybe it's because I don't trust the federal gov't no matter who they are.
