They said the same thing about Ronald Regan when he was in office: the light of history is shining rather favorable upon him more now that it ever did while he was in office.
What for creating the biggest deficit in history by his insatiable military spending? Only now to be surpassed by Bush Jr? Don't tell me you believe the BS that Reagan somehow was responsible for the implosion of the Soviet Union.
Clinton will be remembered for residing over a presidency of unsurpassed prosperity, progressive enviromental policies, international support, and actually having a surplus, which was all squandered by this administration. Only thing Republicans will remember Clinton by is his relationship with Monica and ignore everything else.
Did the incredible accomplishments of the military in the first Gulf War and the current Iraq War make any impression on you whatsoever? Guess what? If it weren't for Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., those victories would not have been nearly as swift. After both Carter and Clinton, the military needed serious funding to recover, and it's still starved for equipment with the average age of aircraft greater than the average age of the people in the service.
Clinton will be remembered as the second President impeached and for making a mockery of the judicial system as well as his own law career. Democrats seem to forget that the only reason the budget was ever balanced was because the Republicans shut down the government to force it.
