<<We were fortunate to get through those 8 long years as unscathed as we did.>> Well, let's tally up the tab: 1) A severe deflationary recession and bear market. 2) 5,000 dead in a multiple terrorist attack on our own soil. 3) A military that is so demoralized that foreigners (including the left wing press centered in the Peoples' Republic of New York) speculate with a straight face that we couldn't destroy Iraq without a large and unreliable "coalition". 4) A Democratic party that has become so totalitarian-oriented that they obstruct even the most trivial functions of Congress. 5) A quantum leap in black anti-white racism that has set back the cause of racial harmony to pre-World War II levels. And those are just the highlights. But you are essentially correct. History shows us that it could have been far, far worse...

It was a disgrace to the political system in this country that Pres Clinton ever had to go into details about his personal life. I agree that it was dishonest of him to be cheating on his wife & that alone reveals a weak character. That however was only Hillary Clinton's business--not ours. I agree the nation would always be better off with a person of the highest moral fiber in the oval office. However, once the American people elect the next chief executive, it's time to support him until the next election. That's the method for removing a President from office....not dragging a sitting president, who should be spending his time focusing on matters such as future problems with terrorists, through the courts because he cheated on his wife. Once his term has expired & he's no longer President--he's fair game for legal charges. How can the most powerful person in the world do an effective job when he/she must spend 50% of their time defending themselves in court while trying to keep peace in the world?......Pres Clinton's legal problems were just the latest in a string of the same sort of legal cases for each administration since Pres. Richard Nixon.

I would stop short of perverted, but the man definitely had (and has) psychological problems, and his term was definitely a period of extreme apprehension by a majority of Americans.
