I wasn't aware of how long he was in office, I thought he only did one 4 year term.

But yeah, I'm Canadian, I really don't pay attention as much as I should?

You pay attention to the same schlock news as we do right? I mean, the OJ trial and the Lewinski scandal had you on the edge of your seats up there right?

The O.J. trial, somewhat. The Lewinski scandal? No, I don't really care if a man cheats on his wife. That's his business, not mine.

Yes I know what the standard of living is in Sweden. It is also a socialist country (close at least) where people who want Hillary in office would fit in great. I really don't wish death on anyone so I gave a decent option.

Both of which he had NOTHING to do with. They would have happened regardless.

Clinton is very educated, but if you ever watched any of the times he addressed the public, he's speak really slowly. My history teacher told us that was so that he didn't seem to be "smarter than the average bear."

Clinton is a nice guy, but that didn't make him necessarily an effective president. I'm pretty sure most of the presidents are "nice guys."

Oh, I thought he was in only for 4 years. That's why I said he would have been able to serve another 4 year term, assuming he only had one. But I see now that I'm mistaken. Thanks. ^_^

I didn't pay attention to either of them. Or the Michael Jackson trial, for that matter. I'm a little more preoccupied with a fscking war our country is in.

Wasn't he a Rhodes Scholar?

Saw him speak at UF about 2 years ago.... Fantastic speaker and an excellent president IMO....

I think one reason why he is/was so liked is when he speaks, you believe him (nevermind the monica scandal). Seriously though, he has a way to captivate the audience and instill confidence in those he speaks to, something the current president has none of.

In fact, it has quite the opposite effect. :)

Yeah, QuitBanningMe makes his choices so difficult...I'd love to move to Sweden.
