1. I remember the long national nightmare of peace and prosperity

during the Clinton administration, it was just awful. If he had just refused to work with the Republican congress he could have idealistically gotten nothing done, but he would have been pure enough for some at DU. Winning elections matters and too many progressives are eager to make the perfect the enemy of the good.

2. But, but...

He didn't achieve world peace, make every American a millionaire, cure cancer, or make everybody slim and beautiful! And Hillary will fail to do those, too!

Thanks for posting this, Tommy. We all need reminders of what the Big Dog achieved.

3. I just read a diary on Daily Kos

It went on about Clinton's failed Welfare Reform then I looked at the above list.

Higher Income Levels with the bottom 20% saw an increase of 16.3% over his presidency

When is the last time we have seen the middle and bottom see an increase in their incomes? It's been steadily going down since the Clinton's failed presidency. We need 8 more years of this kind of failure.

4. Yes, we need more years of Clinton failed presidency, I was a recipient of the Clinton

failed policies. Best years of financial gains I have ever had. Oh, BTW, the last person who lost both Iowa and NH primaries was Bill Clinton, we see how this turned out. He ran against Paul Tsongas and Jerry Brown.

5. Bill Clinton really failed me...

... when I went to work in construction in 1992. For almost 10 years I had to work every week except Christmas and a few other holidays. Got laid off for a whole two weeks around 1997. Then around 2001 2002, I started getting unwanted layoffs for one or two months at a time and 3 or 4 times a year. Believe me I did not enjoy those forced vacations.(sarcasm) If this is failure, then we need more of it. Go Hillary 2016 and beyond.
