My opinion of the Bill Clinton 60 Minutes interview

[Champ]

I'm sorry if this is a dupe because I'm sure there are a ton of threads on this.

But this was really a great interview, I swear when I say this, but Bill Clinton answered every question with the bottom of his heart. Alot of the answers he said when asked where alot of stuff I could relate too. A couple examples, like the day he was talking about when he realized his parents weren't perfect. I know exactly what he was talking about when he mentioned that, that was a tough day for me as well when I realized that and I'm sure that's the case for many people.

He is really an amazing human being and like many of us he has made some mistakes, some real bad ones as well. But at least he acknowledges the mistakes he has made and he always tried to make something good out of something bad. Also when he said something along the lines like 'I will never make a excuses out of something I done wrong but will always try to find a reason for actions I made' (Definitely not the exact quote he used) I completely agree with him, we always have to find a reason for bad actions so we can prevent them from happening again. Everyone really grows up to be who they are based on the environment they had to live through, Clinton grew up in a rough environment and came out a great person. No real father. Not too many people can come out half the person he was especially through the environment Clinton grew up in. That should be appreciated whether you are left, right, north, or south. That moment where he saw that clip of an interview with his mother, I know this may seem crazy but that was truly a sad and touching moment. So much more I can go on, but really, he was definately the best President ever in my lifetime and in my opinion will go down as a great President in US history. Despite all the BS.
