Presidents are subject to the domestic agenda of Congress. Presidents are the Chief Executive, our most senior Diplomat, and the Commander-In-Chief of our military.

Congress controlled Clinton, just as Congress controls Obama, and Bush before him. Take a look at the legislation enacted by Congress with a veto-proof majority, which no President would be stupid enough to veto. More recently, take a look at the votes Congress gave Obama's latest budget proposal. Not a single Republican OR Democrat gave it a single vote, not one!

I can also assure you that when Congress gets around to enacting another Continuing Resolution to continue the $1.5 trillion annual deficit, it will be passed with a veto-proof majority. Thus forcing Obama to accept whatever Congress dictates.

Work is the last place you should be discussing politics.

Clinton also knew full well that NAFTA would destroy the livelihoods of millions of Americans. And he was pathetic enough to bomb a country just to keep the Monica story off the front pages.



Except Jimmy Carter never lied to the American people...can the same be said for Obama?

Clinton had the small things like Waco and the bothersome offers of Bin Laden on a silver platter.

Obama has certainly not accomplished as much as Clinton, but Clinton had 8 years and Obama has had only four so far. The political environment has also changed a lot since Clinton left office, and not for the better. I thought partisanship was bad when Clinton was in office. Reading threads on this forum demonstrates that if the country's mood is anything like this, it's much worse. Plus, the Congress Obama is dealing with is the worst EVER.

Just admit it. Clinton was far more conservative than Bush.

Clinton was a traitor to this country and IMO the WORST President.

Clinton GAVE AWAY to China through Loral missile (rocket technology when they were blowing up on the launch pads) and missile guidance technology when China had none that worked. So it was Bill Clinton who gave China the ability to hit any city in the USA and elsewhere with a nuclear bomb whereas before the most they could do is get lucky and maybe lob something into the most northern part of Alaska.

The above is a fact and you can look it up.
Betrayal to the country and our national security.
Makes Bill Clinton our worst President and a traitor to this country.
Being most are uninformed and don't get what happened regarding China he is allowed to still walk free.

Obama is a failure, what else need be said regarding him?

Malarkey. China stole the information. Romney's Chinese friends committed espionage. I did look it up. Unlike you, I will provide a cite.
