was bill clinton a bad president?

In retrospect, Clinton was one of the better presidents the United States has had. Setting his personal life aside, he managed to bring our financial house in order after years of mismanagement by Reagan and Bush.\n\nClinton was responsible about the use of US military power globally. He got rid of Slobodan Milosevic, and actually did attempt to take down bin Laden.\n\nHis trade policies were based on flawed assumptions, and cost the US hundreds of thousands of jobs, but I can't see a Republican being better.\n\nBill Clinton had his flaws, but he is light years ahead of the guy in the White House now.

nope,\nthere was a poll.\n80% of people in the  media are dem-o-cants\nso you can guess, clinton only got 20% of the bad press.

Bill Clinton, only president in the last 40 years to run the country as it should be run and when he left office he left the next president headed in the right direction. However we all know what happened next. Tax cuts for the rich and ill advised war. record deficits, record debt. Maybe Hillary can straighten it out although it will take much work.

No, Bill Clinton was.

Bill Clinton was a Rhodes scholar. G W Bush barely got C's at school. Clinton is a liberal, Bush is a conservative.\n'nuff said.

Bill Clinton was a GOOD president.  A heck of a lot better than the poor excuse we have in office now.  And who is to say that this president hasn't exercised some extramarital activities?  Many presidents have had sexual activity outside their marriage . . . but haven't gotten caught.  President Kennedy had a long-term affair with Marilyn Monroe, and no body thought badly of him.  You are right, just because he has a high sexual drive doesn't make him not qualified to hold the office of president.

Bad Job:\n\n1. When he took over office he had a surplus of cash; now we have a deficit of 8.1 trillion dollars.\n\n2. Took us to war for oil and lies.\n\n3. Illegally spying on his citizens. \n\n4. reacted extremely slow to the hurricane Katrina crisis and stated that there was no way to know that this could ever happen.  Even though there where numerous reports that this will happen and he cut the levy's budget the summer prior.\n\n5. Lowered taxes on the richest of the rich in America and to help cut savings have recently decided to cut spending on medicade, medicare, and education programs.\n\n6. Never really won the popular vote in the 2000 election.\n\n7. Used cocaine and other illegal narcotics and has been convicted of a DUI.\n\n8. Draft dodger\n\n9. Could care less how the other 50% (Democrats)of the population feel about his policies.  \n\n10. Incorporating religious philosophies with politics and law.  Even though the basic principal of our countries laws and ideologies is the separation of church in state. \n\n11. Trying to get a Supreme Court justice who will overthrow Roe vs. Wade.\n\n12. There is many more reason why he is a bad president, a bad person, and there will sadly be more reason to dislike him to come.

He is a good man, that has made a difference in his lifetime. But I really don't think that he is presidential material, of course he would have done better then the one we got. Because the one we got is soooooo bad.

Acting on "Bad Intellegence" bush has, with his war, killed countless thousands. Clinton had consentual sex with an of-age woman, then lied about it when he got caught. Obviously, Clinton is the anti-christ.

He was the worst President we ever had....he down sized the military, cut our budget and made Americans look bad with all the ugly chicks he was with...lol...I was in the Army for 8 years under him...he never gave us a decent pay raise, (I hate to say it but me and many other E-4 and below had to be on food stamps...great guy huh?) he took away some of the benefits that we signed up for (i.e. he took away the free dental care for our family members.) Bush was great...got some benefits back and gave us several pay raises a year...Clinton is a loser and is the main reason for 9/11...Deferment Bill never should have been elected, but stupid Poss Poirot messed that up...most of the people I served with hated him and his wife....

Bill Clinton?  I dunno.  He was president at the time and was born in Arkansas.

Bill Clinton is perceived as one of best presidents of all time....except for the far right. Even the far right, while hating him, respects him as a formidable politician.\n\nMost moderates and liberals, while disliking the way he handled the Lewinsky matter, would probably vote him as the best president ever (or at least in the top 5).\n\nHow can Hillary do anything but benefit from her association with one of the best presidents of all time? On top of that she is percived as somewhat of a martyr for all women who have had a unfaithful husband. that in itself, are a LOT of votes!

no, but it is getting harder. bill clinton grew up in a single parent household in little rock, arkansas. he was in a low income neighborhood as a childhood. senator fulbright in arkansas at the time had the fulbright scholarship which he awarded to clinton. clinton then went to oxford in england for college for free where he meet hilary clinton. he ran for local office then governor. he was so effective as governor that he ran for president and won. so it can be done but is getting harder with all the nastiness and namecalling going on in politics.

History and time will tell.  It's too early to answer that question.  It's hard to point to one President who was the worst - there were many rather insignificant Presidents.  Ulysses Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and Cleveland all served during one of the most corrupt eras in U.S. history - I would probably start with one of these men.

No.  She is very intelligent but would be bad for the country, in my opinion.  Besides, she would bring Bill back to the White House, which was embarrassing enough the first time around.

Yes, and at that time the news media was spelling his name with a "U", as in "Usama".  And yes, Clinton could have killed him, but played armchair warrior instead, firing a few million dollar Tomahawk missles into some two dollar tents...not ragging on Clintoon for that, but it was definately a wimpy move.
