Opinion of Bill Clinton

[Vosem]

Tough. Foreign policy leaves some things to be desired; seemed to just go along with congress vis-a-vis economic policy (leftist for the first two years, fairly rightist after that). His first policy, first and foremost, was always to maintain his own political power. The Lewinsky scandal seems likely to become the most remembered thing associated with Clinton, even though it was really just a meaningless political confrontation. Even with all of that said, Clinton left the nation much better off than he'd found it, although the world as a whole had become rather more dangerous in 2000 than it was in 1992. Ultimately voted FF out of a general sense of '90s nostalgia.
