Clinton didnt really inherit a great economy and just ride it. I've never heard anyone say he did til now, but it was overdue.
Clinton also fought the republican controlled congress for new wiretapping laws to tap suspected terrorists under the same process that we tapped suspected drug kingpins (sound familiar?). Republicans never presented him a bill, and that was after Clinton literally pleaded with them to send it to him so he could pass it.
I had no great LOVE for Clinton, Reagan, Bush or Bush, but it's not fair to revise history. They all suck equally in certain various areas and do great in certain areas and I dont have a problem saying so because at least it's honest.
I admired the hell out of the senior Bush for the way he handled the Kuwait crisis. He showed great resolve, the generals kicked ass and we stood on a certain moral ground when Bush said NO, we arent going to baghdad to depose Saddam Hussein because the US doesnt practice assasination as a means to change a government in a foreign country who we disagree with. That took balls, and by the way lets not forget that Saddam gassed the Kurds BEFORE that Kuwait crisis and we STILL did not pretend it was a reason to go remove Saddam. His son should have learned a few things from this.. but as GW Bush said when asked if he'd spoken to his father before going into Iraq, he answered "I spoke to a higher father". Something is wrong with the poor guy I'm afraid.
