    I would have rated clinton a 7, only because he drew down our national defense which led IMO (NOTICE I SAID OPINION) to 9-11. As much as i didnt like him, he did some good things and in hind site was pretty conservative

    Why is he a failure on Domestic policy? Taxes have been LOW FOR EVERYONE. Bush TAX CUts Grew the economy and did give money back to the people in the middle class (they pay lower now then when Obama will get in when he lets the Tax Cuts expire)

    OUr defense has been GREAT.

    Foreign Relations? Because he has stood up to people that are harboring terrorists and talked down to people that wouldnt go to war or help out because of their own monetary interests? I mean you call him a war monger, but you got Russia, France who didnt want to do SHIT with IRAQ over OIL. Same with Germany.

    I think his foreign relations have been fine. Most people either respect us more, and the ones that hate us, well, they hated us all along

    - Clinton took office unemployment was really high and he was able to get id down under 5%

    - Clinton also created more than 2x the jobs monthly than Reagan/Bush Sr.

    - Avg family income rose over 6k during his terms

    - Raised min wage

    - he actually paid off national debt

    - home ownership raised to historic heights (but we know now why and what it has caused)

    I don't see where you think Clinton did all that bad - beyond everything people liked him and weren't disenchanted w/ their gov like they are today. Reps love to talk about FREEDOMS/SECURITY but you can't put a price on happiness. People just aren't happy with Bush and Reps in general.
