Clinton years were good for wall street and banking cartel; the wealthy got richer and some trickled down to main street mostly via the computer industry thanks to Bill Gates, thousands of independent programmers, and especially Y2K--none due to Clinton. Oil prices were still low so the public wasn't shafted by prices directly, but small businesses outside the computer industry were closing at an increasing rate (except for the pawn shop biz) and quality jobs were being transferred offshore faster and faster... those are not entirely Bush admin fault (although Bush admin has never even pretended any restraint as Clinton pretended.) Software jobs were moving offshore on Clinton's watch and the end of Y2K "crisis" ended the high demand for on site practitioners sending the jobs offshore at a greatly increased rate, neither Clinton or Bush's fault, just economics and the internet. Clinton rode on the highest social security taxes in history and the only thing he ever "balanced" was his cigars. Clinton's administration wasn't as overtly bad on individual rights as Bush's because his bills were defeated by activism by the people (pre 9/11.) Go back and read the content of some of the bills defeated by public outcry under Clinton, and they read like the script used by the Bush administration to destroy the Bill of Rights. Partisan? That remark sounds like Greenspeek ... the pot calling the kettle black. You are entitled to your opinion and others are entitled to their opinions. The word partisan is very similar to the word prejudiced, with unfortunate connotations. Disclosure: I didn't support any Clintons and didn't/don't support any Bushes. I am non-"partisan" when it comes to politicians.
