Bill Clinton was the greatest president of the 21th century
Bar none. Does not matter that it only lasted 20 days. It's an unarguable fact.

3. Bill WAS wonderful BUT
It really makes me mad that the MSM ignores the fact that JFK SAVED THIS COUNTRY from nuclear disaster. And the reason they will never mention it, is because he is a Democrat....and a KENNEDY.

And they will never give FDR credit for saving this country during the great depression of 1929. Because he was a Democrat. The constantly boost up Reagan who is the cause of the fiscal crisis that is still going on in this country.

7. I dispute that Kennedy saved the country from nuclear crisis.
It is true that once the Cuban Missile Crisis began he acted responsibly and prevented disaster, but it was his very weakness the encouraged Krushchev to put missiles there in the first place.

4. Bill Clinton was a good president--not Great.
Great Presidents were FDR Truman, and even Johnson will be treated more
kindly by History--Civil Rights and Medicare for starters.

Clinton did some good things and not so good things.
He passed Nafta which today has our economy reeling producing
hardship for those making 75,000 dollars ayear and under.

I love Bill Clinton, but do not get starry eyed over him.

Yes, a good President but not great.

8. Yeah, and the Republicans think it was Reagan.
Which all goes to show that zealots in both parties are woefully ignorant when it comes to a knowledge of American history.

You're right. He is the greatest!

14. Carter once said that he was a better EX-President than he was a President. With Clinton
the opposite is true.
