I find it interesting that both the fiscally conservative and the liberals are fans of Clinton, I think its only social conservatives who don't like him.

Basically he was a charming liberal who ran a surplus and didn't fuck up with foreign policy.

 

Edit: Did Clinton run a surplus or just have a deficit smaller than growth of GDP? I can't remember.

He had a projected surplus that was never achiveved.

It's hard for anyone to complain about Clinton soley for the fact that he didn't have any problems to worry about.

It's kinda like how everyone loves Lincoln, Wilson and FDR even though they were extremely ghoulish presidents who were only excused for being a president during times of war.

Espiecally FDR.  He was just craaaazy.  Never was there a president who tried so hard to emasculate the other 2 branches of power.  He wanted to literally castrate every german male.  It took STALIN to be the voice of reason.

Lincoln kind of deserves it in my opinion. Well depending on your point of view on secession and civil rights anyway. Theres no denying he was a strong president who improved things for the blacks.

Also you have to ask, is not having anything to worry about the cause of Clintons good governance or the effect of it?
