Both are terrible.

Clinton was good only because he happened to be the president of the dot-com boom.

What he did was the outcome of today's problem. He made banks to legally gamble with client's money.

They both had r's trying to destroy them at every turn.
It was all Bush's fault right?

I don't measure Obama by the condition of the country when he took office. I measure him by his actions in office.
You must not pay too much atention to her posts if you are really shocked.


Clinton hands down. But they both suck.

Clinton.

Though I don't think there has been a single "good" president since JFK was shot.

Once Clinton got schooled in his first mid term he backed down on guns and became a lot more centered.

It's too soon to tell. If Obama is re-elected, and if the economy comes roaring back in the next four years, he will probably be remembered as one of the greatest presidents ever... fixed the economy and ended not one, but two, wars. He will be seen as the anti-Bush par excellence... far surpassing Clinton. If he is defeated in 2012, he will still be the guy who got Bin Laden, ended Iraq, established a national healthcare system and saved the US economy from total collapse.. not bad.

Giver the circumstances I consider President Obama's term to be a sucess. The market has recovered with little inflation and we are, too slowly, getting out of Afgahnistan despite Republican Tea Bagger opposition in Congress.

Our economy could be in much worse condition and we would likely be in a war with Iran if McCain had been elected. Or, worse, had Ms. Palin as President.

I am working to relect President Obama. I think his vision of America is aligned with mine and consider all of the Republican candidates as completely unacceptable.

I think Clinton, growing up in Hot Springs, had more in common with black folks than Obama.

It's the longest (and most jobless) recovery in modern times. If this is your idea of an Obama success I'd shudder to imagine what you'd see as a failure.
