(1,454 posts)Although he died when I wasn't too old. But the question is: during my lifetime. I have always had problems with Clinton because of DADT, DOMA and NAFTA. I always thought he had no balls on the first two. Maybe they got bitten off by the horsefaced one in AR, Paula something? And, I will admit, I didn't vote for Jimmy the 2nd time, midguidedly voted for Anderson. That is the one vote I really regret. Grandma hated Harry "Ass" Truman for sending Uncle Fred to Korea. JFK is more romanticized legend than actual deeds. Johnson got a shitload done, but his intransigence on Vietnam brought him down. Jimmy supported a lot of the right wing shit, he's better now than he was as President. Clinton sucked up wayyyyyy too much to the Rethugs. Unfortunately, for all the good things that he has done and had to work with Blue Dogs and Rethugs who oppose him at every step, our current President needs a spine and a realization that the the aforementioned will never deal with him honestly.
