Who did/does a better job at being president…? Clinton or Bush?

During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history.He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to wina second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country%26#039;s history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare roles. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. A record like that! Now compare it to Dubya’s record of utter incompetence…LOL!! Dubya didn’t get up there by him self…Don’t you just want to give him a hand to get down from there?

cock sucking *** bubble blowing ***** boy. today is the day biacth. yeehaw mother ****** asseating queer!|||Bush! Clintons the cause of 9-11|||Clinton without a doubt .He had no morals but did have a brain .Or maybe he just had better advisers.|||Clinton was by far a better leader.

We had a budget surplus, a stronger economy. He had a higher approval rating when he was under impeachment....that Bush has ever had!|||We ended up in a Recession with Clinton, Jobs were going out of this at record rates. He addressed no national security. He sold our secret technology to China, He was brought up on charges of rape. He was impeached. And that is just the short list.

The obvious answer of course is President Bush is doing the better job.|||nato had become a attacking organization.nato is replaced by us.|||Bush|||During Clinton%26#039;s admin it was the republicans who ran the house and thus they are responsible for the increases. Clinton never put a minority in any position higher than a secretary. Bush has not only put minorities in high profile positions but women as well. Clinton shamed the White House. The majority of Americans agree or Bush wouldn%26#039;t have been re-elected by such an overwhelming majority. Repubs let the dems lull themselves into a false sense of security with all of their pro-Kerry polls but in the end it was the silent majority that took action. Like Liberal rhetoric talk is cheap and actions spoke louder than words.|||History will show you bush. Clinton came into the White house behind 12 years of Republican control. you always see results later.Clinton was so busy with Monica that he did not stop bin Laden.The economy was already going down hill,then 9-11 came and changed the world forever.Its good to have a real man in office that has the guts to defend our country.|||There were 4 terrorists attacks against us that went unanswered. You are stupid and you are repeating some rhetorical talking points that are wrong. The lowest unemployment rate is right now. He had a balanced budget because he wasn%26#039;t funding a war. Bush was the first person to appoint a black Secretary of State. Clinton was an immoral asshole and that is why Hillary can%26#039;t win office; no one wants anything to do with Clinton anymore. Plus she is a shrill, shrewish, socialist, gay pandering, abortionist, butch ultra feminist. With all of your coherent sentences I bet you are a real champ at politics and current events mstimaya.|||No you are confused, Clinton was too weak to take the necessary steps to avoid the problems we are dealing with now. All of this was set into motiom long before Bush became president.

People need to open their eyes in this country, Bush is trying to clean up after other peoples messes.

If The previous administration done its job effectively we wouldn%26#039;t be at this point.

Many in this country find it easier to open their mouths %26amp; complain instead of getting out and making a difference.

Loads of things can be accomplished in positive ways, all you have to do is take everything you hear from the media with a grain of salt, instead of seeing it as blind fact.

CT|||Think of it this way: would you rather have indoor plumbing or a out-house? I was no fan of Bill Clinton but that out-house is stinkin%26#039; and full of shyt! Peace...|||Every person in the U.S. knows the best times ever were the 8 years of Clinton. Dislike personal issues but hey skeletons in every ones closet.|||Ha ha, I think you%26#039;ve nailed all the good points that our beloved President Clinton accomplished. Bush on the other hand is an ape with NO diplomacy skills and backed by a corrupt and criminal administration. Clinton is a Ferrari, Bush is a Tricylce. I look forward to his and Cheney%26#039;s Impeachment. Even the air seems soured since DUH-bya has been in office, man I can%26#039;t wait til he%26#039;s out of office.

http://www.internetweekly.org/images/bus...|||ok that maybe true or not but i was alive and well in the us military while shitbag clinton was prez how do you think he got surplus? dumbass he didnt balance anything he just pulled resources from other areas like defense and national security to have this surplus. wake up to the truth he aint no saint! he just stripped one segment of our nation to %26quot;cover%26quot; another you just didnt see this trick and you bought it hook line and sinker! he stripped the dept of defense with bare minimum and never did anything to protect US citizens abroad! he let many die just to preserve face and he is so great?! he is getting a ******** in the oval office and didnt do a thing to protect the nation but he%26#039;s your hero! what a dumbass|||Clinton was a fine leader, his only problem was his choice of who to party with. If Clinton%26#039;s girl friend had been Cher or Madonna would the people of the U.S. reacted the same way (remember JFK and MM)|||Presiding over peace and prosperity on the surface while serious problems fester unaddressed is not usually deemed an unqualified success. If that were the case, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge would be counted among our best presidents. They clearly are not.

One president you DID mention, FDR, had a huge depression and a huge war on his watch. By your logic he would be one of our worst presidents.

The economy is doing at least as well now as during the Clinton years - check the statistics.

Everyone is against racism. Clinton talked big, but that%26#039;s it.

The Republican congress spends far too much money, I agree.

Bush is addressing difficult problems, rather than kicking the can down the road as Clinton did.

Do you REALLY want us to withdraw and follow the policies of the 90s, which got us into the mess we%26#039;re in? I honestly don%26#039;t think people like you do. You don%26#039;t like Bush and you don%26#039;t like the war, so you complain about it, blame it all on Bush, and wish to turn back the clock to when we were blissfully ignorant of the threats against us. But deep down, if you examine the situation, you know you can%26#039;t. (Also, Democrats who complain about surveillance programs, etc. should be asked to put up or shut up - vote on stopping the program or not!) I%26#039;m sure cancer patients would prefer to go back to the day before the cancer diagnosis, but a moment%26#039;s rational reflection tells them that ignoring the problem doesn%26#039;t %26quot;bring back the good times%26quot; - only facing the problem and fighting it gives any hope of a normal future. No, I%26#039;m not a mind reader. but I%26#039;m giving you my honest opinion.

Bush is not perfect. I%26#039;m listening to his press conference as I type, and he is terribly and embarrassingly articulate. But a %26quot;smooth talker%26quot; is not the most important thing we need. Actually, I voted at least once for each of Clinton and Bush. I if I had to choose who to lead us now, I%26#039;d pick Bush.|||Clinton was essentially the better President. Though many people chastise his morals their true strife seems to be more about the fact that he lied about getting head in the Oval Office. Bush has not been President. He has been a shield for his administration, the corrupt guys and gals who actually are running the country. Clinton actually got down and did stuff because he was capable of doing it. Of the two options you have presented only one is actually carrying out a task, that was Clinton. That%26#039;s an unfair question. Bush is too dumb to do anything good or bad, the things done in his name are actually not his fault. These are the horrors of a King completely dependent on his advisers.|||I AGREE PRESIDENT CLINTON|||Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft.

Selective Service Number 326 46 228. Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of Col. E. Holmes.

Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) a registrant who has failed to report... remains liable for induction.

Bill Clinton%26#039;s birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a fugitive from justice.

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21,1977, from President Carter.

Bill Clinton is the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC that are now dead would be alive today.

There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives billions of dollars to charity.

The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why was it that the Clinton Administration spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the eight years in office, than Osama bin Laden?

Clinton supported the UAE Port deal and was working with Dubai to “grease” the deal. It was his suggestion to Dubai to opt for the 45 day period of investigation (that was over- lorded by none other than Hillary). Former President Clinton was paid a wad of cash for a couple of recent speeches in Dubai and he was working behind the scenes to assist Dubai in consummating the deal which is now completely fallen through.

In 2000 he bombed an innocent mans asprin factory in Sudan

In 1993, the year of the giant Clinton tax hike, was not the turning point in the deficit. In fact, in 1995, two years after that tax hike, the budget baseline submitted by the president%26#039;s own Office of Management and Budget and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted $200 billion deficits for as far as the eye could see.

Newt Gingrich, for all his faults, received virtually no credit for balancing the budget. Yet today%26#039;s surplus is, in part, a byproduct of the GOP%26#039;s single-minded crusade to end 30 years of red ink. Arguably, Gingrich%26#039;s finest hour as Speaker came in March 1995 when he rallied the entire Republican House caucus behind the idea of eliminating the deficit within seven years. Skeptics said it could not be done in seven years. The GOP did it in four.

Now let us contrast this with the Clinton fiscal record. Recall that it was the Clinton White House that fought Republicans every inch of the way in balancing the budget in 1995. When Republicans proposed their own balanced-budget plan, the White House waged a shameless Mediscare campaign to torpedo the plan -- a campaign that the Washington Post slammed as %26quot;pure demagoguery.%26quot; It was Bill Clinton who, during the big budget fight in 1995, had to submit not one, not two, but five budgets until he begrudgingly matched the GOP%26#039;s balanced-budget plan. In fact, during the height of the budget wars in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration admitted that %26quot;balancing the budget is not one of our top priorities.%26quot;

And lest we forget, it was Bill Clinton and his wife who tried to engineer a federal takeover of the health care system -- a plan that would have sent the government%26#039;s finances into the stratosphere.

I think i%26#039;ll just stop there....I could write you a book, but being a liberal you would not read it. You ignore the facts.

Bush is not the greatest, but Clinton was far worse. you simply do not want to see it because you are a Liberal.

Facts tell the truth, not ignoring them|||Clinton was definitely the better of the two, but it doesn%26#039;t take much to be better than Bush. Oh, but Clinton cheaped out on national security and didn%26#039;t respond to terrorism...yada yada yada. Newsflash: Until after 9-11 Bush didn%26#039;t do anything about terrorism either. Recall that his defense priorities prior to 9-11 were dumping the SALT treaty and building balistic missile defense. People always say how Clinton did nothing about the Cole bombing, but that happened 3 months before Bush took office. He could have launched a retaliation his first day on the job, yet he didn%26#039;t. The bottom line is that up until 9-11 terrorist actions were handled differently by everybody.

Other than that, what are their legacies...

Clinton: Welfare reform, probably the best 8 years of an economy you can have (admittedly some of it was due to a tech bubble), minor peacekeeping/wars/(whatever you%26#039;d like to call them they were cheap in $ and lives) in eastern europe, minor tax increases, then minor tax cut, ballanced budget, high dollar.

Bush: NCLB law, crappy economy from 02 to 04, better economy since, due in part to housing bubble, toughening of security after 9-11, huge defense buildup, tax cuts, Iraq war, large deficits, low dollar, fumbling of Katrina relief.

Probably not as extensive a list as I could have made, but as a young engineer, I would have been much better off graduating during the Clinton years. The country was in much better shape. A lot of bad things happened that aren%26#039;t really either of their faults though.|||I have changed my mind on this Mike---BUSH IS BETTER

IM KIDDING CLINTON WAS A HOTTIE!!!!
