So you are claiming Clinton now? You all sure weren't claiming him while he was in office. I remember republicans calling for impeachment. nicker:

It's impossible for you to be objective. I am not a Clinton fan because he besmirched the office of the president on the national stage. He lacked the grace to step down in the face of withering embarrassment having been impeached, fined and disbarred for lying to a federal judge, and was willing to put his personal desires above the interests of the 300 million citizens of greatest nation on earth. And, as I have said, he taught the democratic caucus how to lie with sincerity. That is not to say that we endured bad economic times during his presidency. Anybody with even the most casual familiarity of the day knows the republican held Senate, having learned the lessons of sound leadership and fiscal bearing, helped keep his feet on the primrose path established by Ronald Reagan.

But to Clinton's credit, he was willing to work with the congress in order to govern. He had to move to the middle, but at least he was big enough a man to do it. I've never had a problem with his fiscal policies and I know I've made that clear more than once. Let's return to topic. Like I said, it is a matter of undeniable record. The fiscally conservative policies of the era, which included Reagan, Bush 1, and Clinton may have been the best this land has ever known. We have that blueprint for success though it has been discarded in favor of the preferred pipe dream economics of this administration. Bush 2 would have enjoyed similar good times had it not been for the trillions lost due to 9/11 and a global recession. He didn't go on about it he just governed.
