10. It's all relative
If you lived in Nazi Germany, you would be dying (perhaps literally) for a "kinder and gentler" Fuhrer like Bunnypants*.

If you live in Imperial Amerika under Emperor Bunnypants*, you would wish for Clinton.

Hell, even NIXON looks like friggin' Thomas Jefferson next to Bunnypants* and his Gang of Thugs.

That's not the whole story, though, Whatever else Clinton was, and whatever his faults were (remember, he had the Busheviks termiting under America while he was in, destroying it from within, countering his every move, with a Propaganda Machine unequalled in human history) the lives of many people, both rich and poor, got better under his administration.

(this is not to say he was perfect, or that certain trends indicating the moribundity of a society, such as wealth disparity, continued to rise during this time, to name one thing)
