Like all "new Way" politicians, I'm slightly cynical.

On the one hand the economy was good, but on the other he basically had a good economy handed to him on a plate.

On the one hand he signed DOMA and DATD, but on the other they were realpolitik solutions to avoid much worse potential laws.

On the one hand Glass-Steagal repeal, but on the other pretty much everyone and their mothers supported that in the 90's.

On the one hand he signed CHIP, but on the other he titsed up healthcare reform.

I'm really running out of hands at this point, frankly. I'll go with HP: he missed the chance to be a trailblazer and took the easy way out. Kind of like Blair, but without Iraq.

I'm not going to discuss Yugoslavia or Somalia - since I know next to nothing about them, so anything I say would be baseless hackery.

neoliberal fascist bill clinton bombed innocent workers, ultimately defeated the possibility of the glorious socialist republic of America. Free trade agreements? More like fascism!

Are you sure your not deviating into the murky swamps of conspiracy with the Vince Foster thing. Also, whilst Clinton wasn't really directly responsible for the deaths of the latter two anyway, neither were exactly a great loss to humanity, were they?.

Anyway, I'll go for HP. Whilst I agree with some of what he did, with regards to NAFTA and welfare reform, these weren't exactly 'his' accomplishments, rather, they were decisions that he took largely out of political expediency etcetera (although, on the other hand, I'm not exactly opposed to neccessary political expediency, so I'm being a little hypocritical). If he had simply been a straight-laced, boring kind of guy, U'd would have been inclined to vote FF, however, the fact that he wallowed in vice and sleaze is enough to make him a HP from my perspective.

FF. I find him to be a rather average/mediocre President when weighing up the situation he inherited and what he achieved, not really terrible and not really exemplary either.

Like all "new Way" politicians, I'm slightly cynical.

On the one hand the economy was good, but on the other he basically had a good economy handed to him on a plate.

Actually the economy was in recession in the early 90s, that's one big reason why Bush 41 lost because Clinton and Perot kept hammering him on the economy. Although, compared to those who came before and after him, Clinton did have the most favorable geo-political conditions for the economy.

On the one hand he signed DOMA and DATD, but on the other they were realpolitik solutions to avoid much worse potential laws.

DOMA was pretty terrible but DATD was, at the time, the Moderate Hero, two-steps-forward one-step-back solution to gays serving in the military.

Thing is, as noxious as DOMA was, it's wasn't a Federal Marriage Amendment - which would have probably been pushed if the GOP was in power

Snowstalker had a rare good post; David Koresh could have been nabbed while jogging that morning, but Janet Reno wanted a spectacle, and she got it. Janet Reno ranks with Cheney in terms of vileness, and Bill Clinton most carry part of the blame for appointing her.
