Since so many here think Obama is going to be a terrible President, I am curious how many people think George W. Bush was a better President then Bill Clinton, the last Democratic President.

can someone tell me how Clinton was better? i worked from home yesterday and watched the history channel most of the day. he had several chances to capture bin laden and stop the taliban, which he did neither. not only that considering the fact he disgraced the white house w/ his monica scandel, i'm trying to fig. out why ppl think he was so great

Clinton was better because he had a republican congress to keep him in check.

Clinton was atrocious for the military, for our intelligence services and in terms of fidelity. Otherwise, once offset by a R congress, he was a very strong president.

How does that relate to the utter socialist that Obama is?

In the whole scheme of things, why does fidelity really matter, and how does that make him different than any number of other presidents?

IMO, Congress should always be the opposite of the President's party.

Keeps the right wing nutjobs in check and the limp-wristed liberals in check.

Clinton was given the keys to a high powered car (the US) and never bothered to change the oil or do any routine maintenance. It ran great for a long time, but the next owner got stuck with the problems. And guess what? The next owner is REALLY screwed.

It was the whole lying under oath thing that matters. If he'd have manned up about it, his legacy would be much different.

The irony is that the infidelity really is a small deal in the larger scheme so the fact that he lied about that indicates he'd lie about just about anything to save his bacon - he was as "me first" a president as I can remember.

I agree with the bold above. The fidelity itself should be a non-issue for everyone except him and his wife.

You missed the point. You never want the same party controlling Congress and the presidency.
