96. You talk about me "knowing my history" Clinton came into DC with a FULL Democratic MAJORITY
His presidency was also quickly challenged. On the heels of a failed attempt at health care reform with a Democratic Congress, Republicans won control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

The election also gave the Democrats full control of both branches of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Clinton was the first president to enjoy this privilege since Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s.


I'm guessing he couldn't accomplish much within his own party. He had TWO years and instead of increasing our seats in congress he lost BOTH HOUSES. Whew, that's HARD WORK.

He HELPED the poor and working families more than any president ever.
Where have you been? Obviously not paying attention or studying history.


I think FDR did more for the poor and middle class than BC, IMHO.
