KKKlinton is dead-heat tied for worst president with Jimmy Carter who, along with guys like Chuck Darwin, Thomas Malthus, and Paul Ehrlich, is a legit candidate for stupidest white man ever to walk the earth.

Perhaps that explains why the women that told about being raped by Bill were personally threatened. Maybe a psychopath was involved?

Based on what? The fact that you don't like Bush? That we are in a war? What is it exactly that would qualify Clinton as a "better" president?

The economy, international relations and respect, the budget (hat tip to newt as well). I doubt you could find a matrix in which he could be considered to be a worse president than Bush...

If Clinton had been working like Bush is, instead of playing, maybe we wouldn't have needed to make up for 8 years of do-nothings about terrorists.

The economy is good, international relations are good (aside from those that hate us, which would hate us regardless of who the president was), the budget could be better, but we are at war and that always leads to budgetary problems.

I didn't say he was worse, BBB sais "he (Clinton) was a better president than Bush could ever pretend to be. "

I'd like to see the justifications for that.

I would like to explain here that I don't see Al Gore or John Kerry as psychopathic as Bill Clinton. Al Gore just is out in left field with his beliefs and policies, but I think he would be a fairly decent guy. John Kerry is more of a narcissist, but I don't think he is a psychopath at all. I don't get near as animated over people I simply disagree with concerning policy, but when someone that is truly screwed up gets elected, it is very worrisome indeed.

Hey Democrats and liberals, vote for your policies, but please don't elect another Clinton. I think you all know deep down how screwed up the guy was and is.

No, international relations aren't good. International opinions, including most of our allied countries, are very negative about America right now. It isn't enough for you to just say 'relations are good' when you know they aren't... and not just amongst people who 'hate us regardless,' either.

The people give us much better grades than the press or the politicians.

America's global image has again slipped and support for the war on terrorism has declined even among close U.S. allies like Japan. The war in Iraq is a continuing drag on opinions of the United States, not only in predominantly Muslim countries but in Europe and Asia as well. And despite growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions, the U.S. presence in Iraq is cited at least as often as Iran - and in many countries much more often - as a danger to world peace.

A year ago, anti-Americanism had shown some signs of abating, in part because of the positive feelings generated by U.S. aid for tsunami victims in Indonesia and elsewhere. But favorable opinions of the United States have fallen in most of the 15 countries surveyed. Only about a quarter of the Spanish public (23%) expresses positive views of the U.S., down from 41% last year; America's image also has declined significantly in India (from 71% to 56%) and Indonesia (from 38% to 30%).

Is it because of Afghanistan or Iraq or both, or is it something else? Why is Bush catching criticism in Europe for trying to enforce the U.N. resolutions, the same ones that many of the countries voted for?

The survey shows that the Iraq war continues to exact a toll on America's overall image and on support for the struggle against terrorism. Majorities in 10 of 14 foreign countries surveyed say that the war in Iraq has made the world a more dangerous place. In Great Britain, America's most important ally in Iraq, 60% say the war has made the world more dangerous, while just half that number (30%) feel it has made the world safer.

What a bunch of hogwash! Nobody is supposed to question his highness, Bill Clinton, but reporters can treat Bush like dirt. The fact that Clinton still has one supporter surprises me. As a child, I always wondered how the Hitler thing could have happened, how could he have been elected? Now I know how psychopaths can be elected, Clinton was, I still don't understand it, but now I see it can happen.

Your problem is that you don't have enough smarts to recognized Clinton's talent and leadership. That's your problem, not his.

Thank goodness! Hitler had talent and leadership too. I'm looking for a bit more character than you may care about. Like somebody I would at least trust far enough to buy a used car from, let alone vote for.

It just occured to me that the reason you can't see George Bush for what he is. You forgot to take off your rose colored glasses following Bush's first term inaguration after the Supreme Court majority gave him the election.
