I'd say Woodrow Wilson was worse as far as democratic presidents.
Clinton's presidency was terrible. "Reforming" welfare, establishing NAFTA, enacting Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, expanding usage of the death penalty, repealing Glass-Steagall were all awful; he shifted politics to the right and influenced international left-wing parties with "third way" policies. He receives far too much credit for foreign policy than he deserves simply because he governed over a peaceful time period. He wasn't all bad: at least he enacted mandatory unpaid leave, attempted universal healthcare, and made some improvements in environmental protection, but I can't give him anymore than two stars.
