I'm an Obama supporter because the alternative is not an option....

40. Clinton's actual biggest problem was embracing absurd economic policy. Ironically, the source

of most of his popularity is nostalgia for the economic conditions created largely by the tech bubble and timing.
I think from a management perspective that Clinton was incredibly competent in carrying out misguided policies, the Lewinsky fiasco/Impeachment almost seemed to sharpen him.

I didn't like what he was doing but he was doing it pretty damn competently, his appetites had little functional drawback (and should have had none but for strident, rank hypocrisy that had nothing to do with governing).

He could have been Caligula in that motherfucker and would have been wonderful for the people if he passed on welfare deform, GATT, NAFTA, most favored nation status for China, and all kinds of wicked deregulation that played no small part at all toward the low and crumbling place we are now.

For all the damage heaped on us by Reagan and BushCo, we'd be in far better shape.

There is no level of commendable personal strengths that override policy and many a fucked up individual can be seen as great for our people because of the policies they pursued and causes they contributed to.
