8. I remember the Clinton presidency.
I don't think it was all that great, personally. I don't see that Clinton left anything resembling a record of lasting, positive accomplishment. I don't see that Clinton can bear any credit for the economy, fuelled as it was by the boom in maturing technologies and the commercialisation of the Internet. I don't see how Clinton's economic policies of free-trade neoliberalism have been of long-term benefit to America. I don't see how a president who in real terms accomplished little while taking credit for much can be counted as 'great', or really as anything more than mediocre. But then I make these judgments from an historical perspective, which takes a rather broader view than the one you're taking.
