Clinton's Legacy Poll

Bill Clinton created the record-breaking economic boom of the 1990s, and I highly doubt that Bush can ever beat that record (which, as we all know, was snapped during his first year in office). Clinton was also responsible for the record-breaking federal surplus, which Bush also managed to kill in his first term. Forget about comparing Reagan and Clinton. The Reagan boom lifted 50,000 children out of poverty. The Clinton boom did the same for 4.1 million children.

If Bush is the chosen one, why did he curse America with the biggest terrorist attack in history?

And you can't deny that if Clinton were able to run for a third term in 2000, he would have won in a landslide against Bush.

By the way, Clinton was NOT the first president to be impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868. Get your facts straight before making a poll!

Clinton was the Not the Best (trilobyte)

You said "By the way, Clinton was NOT the first president to be impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868. Get your facts straight before making a poll!"

Well, you might want to read carefully. The poll question said "Being the first elected President to be impeached." So, I will tell you a point of fact. Andrew Johnson was not elected president!! so Clinton was the first ELECTED president to be impeached. I'm sure he is very proud.

Secondly, Clinton was saying in 1994 that deficits could go on for at least as long as the next 12 years! He had no idea how to handle the economy. He was more interested in Monica and other women. He signed the highest tax hike in American history in March 1993 and killed the economy just as it was starting to rebound.

The stock market and economy only surged when America voted in a Republican House and Senate in 1994 (It was a completely one-sided landslide, not a single Democrat won a seat that night.)

Clinton and the Democrat controlled Congress ruined up the economy so bad during his first 2 terms that by his second year the stock market had dropped from 3914 on Jan 17, 1994, down to 3797 by October 3, 1994. A LOSS of 3%.

But once the Republicans were voted in on that glorious day in November '94, the stock market surged. Republicans had the Contract with America. They cut taxes and cut government spending. the stock market went from 3807 Nov 4th 1994, up to 4870 by November 6th one year later - a whopping 28% increase in one year!

The stock market starting dropping again on April 20, 2000, immediately after Clinton told Reno and the Justice Dept to sue Microsoft. Clinton ruined the economy again.
