-Some of the lowest peacetime unemployment rates were recorded during Bill Clinton's tenure
-The longest economic expansion in the history of the republic was recorded during Bill Clinton's tenure
-The highest rate of African American home ownership was recorded during Bill Clinton's tenure.
- The poverty rate was at its lowest in generations under Bill Clinton's tenure.
-The abortion rate was at its lowest level in a generation under Bill Clinton's tenure; people were confident about the future, fucking a lot, and keeping the kids.

That's why Bill Clinton is arguably America's most popular living politician:
