#575 Ok, you got me. It is pretty difficult to come up with a lot of positives to the Clinton legacy. Balanced budget, and his assault on the deficit come to mind.... bringing peace to Kosovo...
However, being a visionary doesn't always translate into results. It was Clinton's own self-destructive behaviors that prevented much of his dreams of becoming reality. Nevertheless, he did possess a powerful dynamic for inspiring Americans. Sadly, he was such a failure on the personal level, that he left us all hanging - right there on the edge of his Bridge to the 21st Century.
His penchant for shooting himself in the foot, and, as you mentioned, his self-serving tendencies did indeed infuriate me. Still, I found the path he outlined for America to be an enticing one.
