Clinton was not way to the left, that's true. But he did fight, and he had a lot to fight against -- the Republicans and their cabal were crazed with a passion to destroy him, as we know. As he said when he left office, "We did a lot of good." For all that he didn't do, that much is still true.

It was a different political situation -- maybe harder in some ways and easier in others -- but the one thing he didn't do was cave completely before the fight even started.
