I think he is to blame for a lot of the mess we are in now.

IMHO, he was a good president, but a bad husband.

LOL - The Republican's are still blaming him for what happened in the last 8 years - does that mean Obama can blame Bush for the next 8 years?

He had good aspects and not good aspects (speaking as a president, not as a man or husband).

While I certainly didn't agree with him on everything, I would say that overall he was a pretty good President.

I don't think it is reasonable to blame him for

It depends on how you interpret "good".


The economy was very good at that time and I think that made him a good president with a good administration.


Clinton was described as a New Democrat and was largely known for the Third Way philosophy of governance that came to epitomize his two terms as president. His policies, on issues such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and welfare reform, have been described as "centrist." Clinton presided over the longest period of peace-time economic expansion in American history, which included a balanced budget and a reported federal surplus. Based on Congressional accounting rules, at the end of his presidency Clinton reported a surplus of $559 billion.


Here you can find a long list of all the good that was accomplished by Clinton and his administration.

Yes..I do think he was a good president. It all went down hill fast after he was gone.
