Clinton never had a majority of popular votes The 1992 and 1996 races had three candidates. Without Perot, Clinton may have lost in 1992 (maybe not), but he still would have won with ease in 1996. How cold Clinton be more skilled when Obama got healthcare passed and Clinton utterly failed? Clinton did not have 69-70 Senators on his team. Clinton seemed to be able to make effective adjustments and seemed to command more respect overseas than Obama does. I think Obama is learning and perhaps his skills will evolve over time. Clinton had the big advantage of coming into the job with more practical experience than Obama did. If Obama fails to get re-elected, obviously Clinton will be seen as much more successful. Krugman seems to be arguing that unless Obama listens to him, his presidency is doomed to total failure. I do not think Krugman is correct and also do not think Obama will follow his advice.
