<<BTW I still haven't heard any answer from anyone telling me how Clinton has done such a good job as president unless it's him signing Republican sponsored bills. Maybe his good job is he hasn't done anything that could screw up the economy.>>

There is no question today that President Clinton balanced the federal budget. He was the one who with perilous consequences to himself and his party (namely giving over to the Gingrich controlled Congress) raised taxes and stimulated the economy to close the deficit. If you look at a graph, it is striking that the US went immediately from a growing deficit to a shrinking deficit after the Clinton stimulus package which closed the deficit in 6 years. Then we all got the fat tax cut we all deserved last year. And the GOP can take absolutely no credit for the Clinton stimulus package; they fought it tooth and nail and they burned the Democrats who supported it in the '92 elections. So, yes, I give Clinton a huge amount of credit for our incredible prosperity these days. On the foreign front, the President has aided in historic agreements to bring peace in Ireland and would have done the same in Israel if not for the assasination of Rabin and the rise of that militaristic whacko Benyamin Netanyahu.

Certainly more than Bush accomplished and at least equal to Reagan (once all of Ronnie's disastrous policies are balanced with his good ones).
