However, he will be known for an economy that worked

Which he had absolutely nothing to do with. You make is sound as though the economy is some sort of discretely measured item that coincides with presidential elections, rather than the continuum it really is.

for reducing the welfare burden

A conservative concept, a fundamental premise of Gingrich's Contract With America. You're giving Clinton credit for THAT? That's hilarious.

for bringing unemployment down to its lowest levels in years

More economy he had nothing to do with.

for advancing the cause of peace in the world

Huh? I must have been absent that day.

for working towards ecological solutions that benefit the planet etc.

Huh (again)?

But most importantly he will be known for having a brain.

No, he will be remembered most importantly for (1) getting impeached, and (2) getting a BJ from a near-teenager whilst conducting business on the telephone.

Even excluding my remarks, do you think the legacy you mentioned is appropriate for an 8-year term? I mean, it can't hold a candle to the legacy of, for example, a Ronald Reagan or a Teddy Roosevelt, or even Richard Nixon (if you leave the lying out of it).

Clinton was an abject failure, even exclusive of the widespread corruption his administration is most known for; and I believe that's what he'll be remembered for.
