Must you remind us of all the economic and political time bombs, booby traps, deferred maintenance, etc. that Clinton left as his legacy? Recession War Stock Market plunge Largest Business Scandals Largest Terrorism event --all, to an item, put in motion while Clinton was "on watch," with the brunt, but not all, of effects felt thereafter. Fortunately there was budget supervision by adults in Congress to keep "Animal House" Clinton and his administration somewhat in check -- in the form of people like John Kasich, Dick Armey, Phil Gramm, Pete Domenici, Daniel Patrick Moynihan (the last decent Senator from N.Y) and others. Yeah, I'll bet you do find scapegoating to be unproductive, particularly when the evidence points to conclusions that you don't like.

You are extremely ignorant. Sure, we have the Clinton recession. Everyone understands that. Bush and Cheney warned everyone about it in December 2000. People do not blame Bush for that. That Dem lie campaign failed. The stock declines, like the Clinton recession, appeared before Bush became president. People do not blame Bush for that. Enron's illegalities occured under Clinton's watch and reflect Clintonian ethics. Clinton's SEC waived the law so Enron could do what it did. And 911 is the product of eight years of Clintonian incompetence and corruption. People do not blame Bush for that. As for your poll, take out the stupid people - the people who don't know who Lincoln is - and Clinton ranks among the worst. Besides, better, more probing polls do show that Clinton is reviled. A great majority of people find Bush to be vastly preferable to the failed, disgraced ex-prez. Clinton has the highest negative ratings of any living prez and second worst of all of them. That is not asked in the ABC poll.

Failed, disgraced ex-prez Clinton falls below former Prez Bush41. Clinton is now rated second-worst of last 12. zogby.com On the other extreme, Clinton's combined rating as below average or a failure as President compared to the last 12 Presidents remained second worst 36% (16% below average; 15% failure) of all 12 Presidents, behind only Richard Nixon's 38% who continues to have the worst below average/failure rating.
