Pezz, he DOES lack proper judgment. This point is indisputable. He has been a poor president because he has failed to take on the critical issues of our day. I'll abide by your rule and try to avoid talking about taxes, but that factors into it as well. Ten years from now we will see the true folly of Clinton's administration. He has done nothing to reform the terrible problems we have with entitlements. He has systematically weakened our national defense, including anti-terrorism programs. He has granted environmental waivers that destroyed great amounts of conservation lands. He has totally neglected regulation in critical infrastructure industries. He has initiated wasteful spending programs of no benefit that perpetuate well into next century. He has weakened the justice department, immigration laws, and enforcement programs. He has severed our relations with critical foreign powers, especially the nations of the former USSR. He has neglected our education infrastructure. Notice I didn't touch on social or moral or leadership or criminal issues, which on their own spark debate. I think he's a horrendous President. Now you ask me to name a good Dem president. In my life, we've only had JFK, LBJ and Carter. JFK would win. Although he had a dismal three years, at least he had some leadership qualities. LBJ got a lot of us killed for nothing and implemented the Great Society spending which is responsible for today's dismal federal budget. Carter was just inept.
