Who besides me thinks Bill Clinton is one of the worst Presidents we've ever had. Personally I'd like run him over.

Why do you think he is the worst? The US prospered while he was president, especially economically.
He did a good job, he just made a couple mistakes in his personal life, which I of course do not condone.
Say he is one of the worse people we have had as president, but do not say he was the worst president, at least without giving some reasons to back up your statement.

Yeh, he was actually a good president, but he was also a good liar. Still, he did a lot of things to help the US out.....

Okay maby I went a little far saying he was the worst president the U.S. has ever had, although I still think he's such a player. He cheated on his wife. I know that's true because it was on the news a few times.

It is very bad that he cheated on his wife. I think he needs a bitch slap.
However, I don't think that has anything to do with how good of a president he was. I do not like what kind of person he is, but I think he ran the United States fairly well.
Please try to have more information about a topic you want to complain about before you complain. I am not convinced that he is a bad president by your posts. I think he is a naughty man, but not a bad leader.

Cheesemonger, please find stuff to back it up. I'm kind of interested in that.
Even if the Bush and Reagan administrations did provide a foundation for Clinton to work off of, it would have been for naught unless Clinton had the ability to use it well, which he did.
I recently read a BusinessWeek article which compared Reagonomics against other Presidential administrations. While Reagan and Bush had some good growth in a few areas, statistically Clinton blew them out of the water, especially in areas like stock price and unemployment rate.
Economics aside, I felt Clinton was an awesome President. He had a lot of intelligence and charisma, and I felt he did a good job of running the country. It's a shame his own private life had to get mixed up with his public duty, but that's just how it is.

In all fairness though, Clinton came in right when the high tech stuff was booming. A lot of the positve stock market activity can be attributed to the so called dot-coms and similar.
Then after Clinton's second term was over and Bush part two took over, the dot-com bubble burst and the stock market plummeted. Some of the economic stuff I would venture was coincidental. However, I do not want this to be misconstrued as an anti-Clinton or anti-Bush post.
