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

I agree.
What I didn't understand about Bush being elevated to hero in the wake of September 11th was everyone seemed to conveniently forget that it happened on HIS WATCH.
From John Dean's book, Worse Than Watergate:
"During the transition period, Bush and Cheney learned more about the terrorism problem.
~Ghostwriter, M.A.
One reason it took so long to address the serious threat of al Qaeda was due to "Bush and Cheney's blanket rejection of any idea -- however good -- that had come out of the Clinton administration."
The mark of true ideologues. You can see the same thing on this board-ideologues rejecting everything Obama because he doesn't fit their ideology, he isn't even sworn in yet. Hopefully Obama won't make this same mistake and automatically reject anything that comes from Bush.
Personally I suspect that history will judge Clinton as middle of the pack in his accomplishments, he had some bad, some good accomplishments. Overall he'll be judged slightly below the middle because of Monica.
For myself he should have resigned after he beat the impeachment charge.

I agree with you there.
I personally like Andy Rooney's take:

HOw far back does 'blame' go when things are going wrong? I mean, at some point, a person, or administration, has to assume responsibility for the choices its making - I'm not responsible for what my ancestors did -
