1. I guess 8 years of peace and prosperity aren't enough
for the 16% that said it was Clinton.

2. Peace and prosperity don't count ...
...when the entire thrust of your life is hatred (and desire for persecution) of those that are different than you. I have no doubt that the 16% are right wing religious zealots (not people of faith, those that have perverted any religious message into one of hate).

5. The 16% know
that Clinton was not only different from them, but better, smarter, much more Christian and incredibly more successful. The perfect combination to piss off zealots whose idea of a hero is bush; a liar, drug addict, military deserter and corporate criminal. How incredibly sad it is to be them.

21. Hear Hear!
I am tired of people complaining about Clinton. Yes, he got a bj in the oval office. So friggin what? He put the United States on the top of the world...and Bush brought us crashing down.

7. There's still time
... the Chimp (sadly) has time to make his mark as worst.

IMO, he IS worse than Nixon

19. thanks for the link
And welcome to DU!!

:hi:

So much of this article is familiar (especially the part about the poll of historians) that I was wondering how old it was, but then I saw the May 4, 2006 date at the end--so this is the RS article I heard about last weekend and couldn't wait to see! Thank you so much!

11. The morons still hate Clinton!
The idiot/traitors who support the currnet administration still love to diss Clinton. Recently, I had the misfortune of listening to one of them rail about "the example that Clinton set for young people". I sniped back that mass murder is a much more admirable trait.
Lost another "friend". Oh well.

13. Clinton not as "worse" as Reagan? Was there an Iran-Contra
under Clinton's watch?
Was Clinton in charge when underlings covertly sold arms to Iran, and cocaine, to funnel money to right-wing death-squad murderers in Nicaragua? Did he then "play dumb" about it and then pardon all the vampires and bloodsuckers involved while the media worked to downplay the whole thing?

I didn't think so.

Hey fweeper dick-heads, it must suck when your highest hero is detested by 99.9% of the world. Poor misunderstood Jr. Shit-Stain, His Imperial Fraudulency, is sooo "misunderstood"--he's really a brilliant statesman and leader, he just "can't get his message across," right? :sarcasm: :nopity:

15. Reagan didn't get a blowjob in office, though
You need to get your priorities straight. Clinton is the first leader in world history to ever get a blowjob from a woman that was not his wife and that b/j is directly responsible for 9/11, the insurgency in Iraq, the recession of 2001, the Cold War, Pearl Harbor, the assassination of Lincoln, the US civil war and countless other tragedies in world history.

18. If Reagan HAD gotten a blow job, he would have used the same defense
that he used for Iran Contra. "I don't recall..."

14. Chimp is hands down the worst "President"
in US history. Considering the fact that he was never legitimately elected, that's quite a feat.

As for the Clinton bashers, they're pathetic people too stupid to realize that guys like Limpballs make shit up and then laugh all the way to the bank. While Mr. Kool Aide drinker was worked into a frenzy over a stain on a dress, slimeballs like Limpballs, Hannity and O'Reilly were really thinking, "Poor bastard to have gotten caught."

20. The worst pResident who was never president.
The only other unelected pResident was a republican and the country went into a recession back then too, but not as bad as Bush's economic clusterflop.

Rutherford B. Hayes wasn't a coward or a chickenhawk either...just a loser.

22. Nixon vs. *
I had a conversation over the weekend about who was worse - Duhbya or Tricky Dick. I replied that at least Nixon was more or less competent in foreign policy. At least the whole world didn't hate us in 1972.
