I think that Bush is one of the worst presidents we've had in the history of this nation...

I don't know about that. We've had WAY worse presidents than Bush. Take Garfield, Hayes, Tyler, and Filmore for example. Clinton, too, was a worse president than Bush has been so far. I mean, look at Clinton's presidency! It started out on the crestwave of an economic boom, Clinton represented the nations new need for a moderate president (supporting states rights and whatnot). He rode into office a popular man considering that he had beaten a president who at one point held the highest approval rating EVER. Clinton then began large spending programs to help the poor. Everything seemed to be going Clinton. Then, straight out of hell itself, the federal government seemed to be running out of the money it had promised to states for Block and catagorical grants. Clinton had, as most idiots do, failed to realize that federal money is limited. Soon the USS Cole was bombed. Clinton decided that instead of taking action, he would launch 1 or 2 cruise missiles. Such impotency is unforgiveable. Clinton also bombed Baghdad for a week and a half straight. Where were the so-called "no war for oil" protesters then? Probably in the same place as Monica Lewinsky, under Clinton's desk. At the end of Clinton's presidency, the economy tanked, leaving us with the recession that we still live under today. Now the economy is back on the rise, and unemployment is going down. Whose doing is this? I can't tell you, but it's certainly not Clinton's! [/B]

You obviously don't know anything about Bill Clinton whatsoever.

Bill Clinton was the only President in the HISTORY of the United States to have a BUDGET SURPLUS. Just so you know, that means we weren't in debt. His economic boom was also the longest in the history of the United States. He lowered unemployment to the lowest it has been in 40 something years. He also saved Social Security. The last Republican to have a nice economic run? Ronald Reagan, and the budget deficet was tripled during that time.

Right now, the economy sucks. But if you knew anything about the economy and how it works then you would realize that it's a cycle that repeats itself over and over. We go through a rise, then a recession, back to a rise, then a recession. Over and over and over again. Clinton sustained this rise in economic activity longer than anyone else.

So what that the guy got head from someone other than his wife. People get divorced every day of the year, but just because he's leading our country he's supposed to be perfect. I don't think so.

Here's an article for you to read:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1110165.stm

In case you are to lazy to read it, I'll some up some key points:

1)"During the eight years of the presidency, the economy expanded by 50% in real terms, and by the end of his tenure the US had a gross national product of $10,000bn - one quarter of the entire world economic output.:

2)"The booming US economy has brought economic benefits right across the income spectrum."

3)"The unemployment rate has dropped by half, to 4%, a 40-year-low, while the economy has created some 15 million jobs."
