He had the luxury of basking in a very good economy, which ended in the dot com boom and bust.  The Wiki has a ton of info on this.  Towards the end, everyone knew the the bubble was going to burst and Clinton's term ended just in time.

So unbelieveable because it didn't exist... Clintons taxes took more of my income than Bush's... \n\nEconomic prosperity under Clinton? \nBULLSHIT!\n\nClinton took away many of our rights, including many 2nd Amendment related, he is one of the worst Presidents ever...

HELL YEAH!!! Look at what he did for the economy. He lowered taxes, eliminated national debt, created more jobs, more funds for education.....\nI mean, come on! If you were married to Hillary Clinton, you would cheat on her as$ too! So what? He had an affair. Do you know how many men have affairs each day nation wide? Better yet, how many each second? I can understand that he is the leader of the greatest and strongest country in the world. But he's only human! The only difference between him and other presidents is that HE GOT CAUGHT!! :0)

He wasn't the greatest President ever, but at least the economy as growing steadily and people had jobs (including the Prez himself - LMAO). Oh yeah, and I do believe we had a balanced budget once again, didn't we? ; )\n\nI'm no fan of the Democrats nor the Republicans, so I vote third party all the time. But things seemed to get done on his watch.

They did when they elected Bush.   Clinton, despite the Lewinsky scandal was a great president.  People made a big deal over the scandal, it didnt change the economy, it didnt send people to iraq, people made it such a big deal over nothing.

I remember a couple of things, but look these up to be factual. He allowed the dollar to float, it was on the silver standard and now it is autioned. He allowed privet ownership of gold, he opened free trade with China. Most of these things have hurt the U.S. A. as the dollar is no longer worth a dollar. The very rich are invested in gold and not into things that will help the country grow and you are living the result of free trade with China. That has cost many American jobs. I hope this helps.

Greenspan - Stability of the economy  through tweaks to the interest rate seemed to work great.

Bill Clinton never put the wealth and safety of the country at risk.  He is the only president in history to go a full term without a recession (and he went TWO)!\n\nI really could give a crap if he got a BJ in the Whitehouse -- he was an amazingly good president, and I would vote for him again in a heartbeat.\n\nAs for Shrub, voting for whomever Rove is whoring for is the same as voting for him.  One member of the "using God to get Oil companies Profits" party is pretty much like all the rest (with the possible exception of John McCain).

I have been around since Truman and probably started paying attention around Eisnehouer, I have never (including Richard Nixon) seen a more corupt govenment in my life. As for the worst I think he is bar none.  Bill CLinton was a good president in the sense I have never seen so much prosperity. His trouble with his zipper should have not been a problem. It should have been a problem only between him and Hillary. It was brought on by dirty politics, if you remember they started out by investigating white water and how it got to that was pure and mean. Ken Star wherever you are should be a very proud man.

Hillary Clinton, this is part of a speach that she give in Chicago:\nAn Economy That Rewards Hard Work\n\n"America did not build the greatest economy in the world because we had rich people. Nearly any society has some of those. We built the greatest economy in the world - and most of us are beneficiaries of it - because we built the American middle class. ...If we don't send a signal that we are all in this together, the character of America will change." \n"I want to send the signal to every one of the people who served us tonight in this hotel, everybody that does the hard work that is so essential to keeping our economy going, that we want them to be successful, as well. And that anyone who works full time should not live in poverty." \n"The truth is we can't be secure without a strong economy, and we can't sustain our deepest values without an economy that rewards hard work." \nYou can listen to this important speech for yourself at http://www.hillaryclinton.com.

Economics during the Ronald Reagan administration.

Why did they praise Clinton for having a strong economy? Because the media's very liberal-biased. They don't realize an economy is a large thing and can't be moved quickly. The strong economy during Clinton's time was a result of strong economic policy during previous administrations. The economy is always going to go through it's ups and downs. I personally think they just like to make conservatives look bad.

For the United States, Bill Clinton\n\nDuring Clinton's tenure, the U.S. enjoyed continuous economic expansion, reductions in unemployment, and growing wealth through a massive rise in the stock market. The economic boom ended in the first quarter of 2000, approximately 10 months before his term ended in January 2001, possibly indicative of a stock market bubble. Although the reasons for the expansion are continually debated, Clinton proudly pointed to a number of economic accomplishments, including:\n\n    * More than 22 million new jobs created\n    * Homeownership rate increase from 64.0% to 67.5%\n    * Lowest unemployment rate in 30 years\n    * Higher incomes at all levels\n    * Largest budget deficit in American history converted to the largest surplus of over $200 billion\n    * Lowest government spending as a percentage of GDP since 1974 [8]\n    * Higher stock ownership by families than ever before\n    * 220% increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 300% increase in the NASDAQ from 1993 to 2001\n\n\nAny other reason??  And like someone answered in another question, when Clinton lied, nobody died.\n\nFor the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernandez Reyna\n\nDuring Fernández's first term, the Dominican economy enjoyed an average growth rate of seven per cent, the highest growth rate in that period, along with countries like South Korea. Inflation was stabilised in the low single digits, the lowest in all of Latin America.

He was very likeable as a president (sometimes too likeable!)   He did a great job with our economy, he talked a lot to the American people, he liked his job, was good at his job, and was very smart.  He married a brilliant woman, who, through all of his mistakes, looks as if he truly loves her, and she truly loves him.  He was the first president to give an office to the first lady in the West Wing.  He really had set us up for a future, going into this millenium.  And then, disaster struck...

It wasn't.  Clinton inherited a clean slate from his predecessor.  The next time go to WalMart and see everthing there made in China, thank BJ Clinton. He made the godless Chinese "most favored trading partners".  He sent your jobs to Mexico(NAFTA), he anmestied 93,000 illegal Mexicans (letting them keep the US jobs they'd already stolen), encouraging the present flood of criminal entrants.
