He lucked out that the tech boom happened under his watch so
the economy was good, also the Asian financial crisis occurred keeping oil
prices down.
People love to credit him for the "good economy"
during his time served, yet most can't name any policy he put in place that
would have had any significant effect on the economy at all?
NAFTA was fucking terrible in the long term yet nobody seems
to bring that one up.
Fucked up Somalia and left it in shambles. He did not heed the first world trade center
bombing, the embassy bombings in Africa, he let Bin Laden go in Sudan because
he didn’t want to spend any political capital, he ignored the USS Cole attack,
and allowed Sudan to kick the weapons inspectors out and he did nothing about
it until he launched a couple of cruise missiles, al-la Wag the Dog, conveniently
the same day the blue dress came out. Via Madeline Albright, he gave North
Korea nuclear materials as part of an aide package because he trusted they
would use it for electricity.
Then there’s the impeachment. Although that was a political
sideshow, he STILL LIED to a grand jury... that’s called perjury and it would
end any of us in jail. He was disbarred for that, in case you are unaware.
On his way out, he pardoned all of his crony buddies
including a Democratic congressman serving time for child pornography charges.
(Mel Reynolds) He also pardoned someone
that refused to testify in the Whitewater scandal, which was another thing that
was very characteristic of a bad president.
If the economy wasn’t good at the time, no one would like
him. I would also remind you that he is the only two term president ever to NOT
get a majority of the popular vote in either election.
The climate in America was good during Clinton's presidency,
with a good economy and low gas prices. Bill is also incredibly charismatic. It
is for these reasons that the country pays little attention to his misdeeds and
considers him to be a perfect president that never did wrong. The economic crises that soon followed didn't
occur over night - he helped get us there more than many know....
Please STOP following the Piper people!
