....but Clinton will probably go down in history as the most effective president since FDR - long after oral office shenanigans are forgotten

Electus - it is too early to judge Clinton. A complex man for sure. In foreign policy I had real problems with him. His attack on the chemical plant in the Sudan was opportunistic and immoral if not evil. His policy in the middle east was obtuse - I guess the best that one could say is that he tried.

long-gone you say Bush is a good man? I'm not an American, but I was interested to hear a Texas journalist talking on the radio about the times he failed in business before becoming Governor - how he was bailed out. How he sold stock (a la Enron, Nortel) before bad news was published, how he took 8 months to file an insider trading report. He couldn't bale out his pals at Enron in the end because it couldn't be baled out - so the only thing was to cut and run and leave his pals behind. He seems steeped in the devious gold old boy corporate culture that we're seeing exposed by the day.

In the meantime he's riding the crest of the wave as "The War President". And what can he do to maintain his position in the polls? Why, go on waging war of course - the ring of evil and all that. In the meantime pop goes the surplus!

A good man? To each his own.
