This is the most banal and basically silly article I have read on HP. President Clinton was a far better President than George Bush I and II singularly and combined. However, his caving for the Republicans on the very things that President Obama must deal with now such as NAFTA (Perot was right about that), unleashing the regulations on the thieving bankers and welfare as we knew it which the long term unemployed could use about now. President Clinton is a diehard DLCer and we are reaping the residuals of his DLC (Republican lite) policies now. That the folks in Kentucky liked President Clinton better than President Obama is more that President Clinton is white and sounds like them.
In TWO years against all odds President Obama has yanked us from the abyss of global depression, carved for a more consumer friendly health care system, got the bankers off of the backs of college students who no longer have to sell their lives to them, spent money that saved jobs (mine included) and repaired some of our crumbling infrastructure. Has he done all that I wanted as a progressive? No. He failed to get the single payer medical system that I dream of every day, the stimulus was way too small, the bankers got off way too easy and Bush II was not brought to trial for the Iraq War and the resulting torture. President Obama has two more years to make more history.
