I remember when Clinton was President, the Republicans were after him every minute, like a rabid dog who won't let go of your pantleg. In the days when special prosecutors were making big bucks investigating cabinet members about Super Bowl tickets. All the paranoia about Vince Foster, the Whitewater non-scandal, and then the sex soap opera.

Has anybody ever tallied up what all this cost the American taxpayer? And how it must have looked to the rest of the World?

Policy-wise, Clinton was a good President. Times were much better than they are today. My stocks were doing better. His problem was that he's a dumb politician, and underestimated how far his opponents would go to get him. Smart and stupid--that's how I've heard him characterized in my travels abroad. Sounds about right.


Bush is damn lucky they got rid of those special prosecutors.
We can't afford them anymore, anyways, fighting wars.

Special Prosecutors were appointed because Clinton broke the same laws he was elected to enforce.

If your stocks were doing better before, it is because of your skill in playing the market. the Dow is near an all-time high and if you had used the drop after 9-11 as a buying opportunity, you would have done very well as I have. As far as times being better...employment is up, home ownership is up, interest rates are down, the national debt is lower in respect top GNP....what exactly do you want?
