The Republicans were merciless on Clinton. In my opinion it was a disgrace what they did to him.
Hauling the President in front of Congress and asking him if he fucked Monica Lewinsky. Knowing full well that every man on the planet is going to lie instead of get in trouble with their wife.
Then they impeached him for lying.
I remember very well what happened to Clinton. He was a great President...but by the time they got done with him, Al Gore wouldn't even let him help with his campaign in 2000 and he was asked to NOT speak at The Democratic National Convention that year. He was like poison at that time.
Obama is certainly no Clinton. I thought he was in 2008. But in my opinion he has been as ineffective as Jimmy Carter for this country.

That is certainly true, and even with all that Clinton was able to get welfare reform passed, the minimum wage raised twice, get the tax rate raised, get the Brady Bill passed, get the Family and Medical Leave Act passed, along with a dozen of environmental laws passed and a host of others. There was not this 'resist everything so he fails' attitude going on.
