That's why I call myself liberal instead of proressive - the word tends to cover those who don't pay of attention to the reality.
For 6 out of his 8 years Clinton governed with a GOP congress (and the dems weren't exactly helpful either). The same cabal that is destroying the country now was tryong then .
3 times Clinton vetoes drilling in Alaska - just to give an idea of the crap congress was doing.
What he achieved was IN SPITE of all the opposition - not just smear jobs, impeachments - but pure raw obstruction (GOP-ers were given word: "Nothing he wants passes".
His last executive orders (protecting workers' disability, privacy, environment etc) were bills GOP had refused to even vote on.
Yet, "progressive" Nader wrote about him "laying traps" for poor W with those orders.
If 3 years of W do not give you a clue of what a tremendous progressive force Clinton was for this nation, you are not paying attention.
