Reply #43: Best president in my lifetime... [View All]

[PAMod]

I was born in 1966.

Greatness is only visible in times of great crisis so I graded him above average.

Clinton was extremely successful, with the handling of Healthcare Reform being his only botch-job. Great idea, poor execution (he should have waited & then he should have asked Moynihan to help write it).

But hell, he "failed while daring greatly". I was proud he was my president.

He also gets some of the onus for losing congress, but remember he was under attack the whole way through.

My step mother has a Streisand video where they scroll the numerous acheivements of Clinton while she sings "Happy Days are Here Again". I got chills when I saw that.
