IMHO Clinton was a good man with his heart in the right place, but he was just as controlled as Bush is, only not so much by the cold war hawks. He balanced the budget on the backs of poor people while giving the banks, corporations and war profiteers the same free ride they're always had.

Too bad no real opposition is given credibility, the two party system is the biggest scam in the history of "democracy".
