I don't think Clinton is relative in this context
Simple fact is, Bill Clinton now holds no water. You look at 41's approval ratings in 1991 during the Iraq war, primo. But once war was over the recession was revealed in all of its crapiness. I don't Bill Clinton would have done much better in this environment. His constant polling and his verbal acrobatics would scare voters now. Clinton served his purpose for the time, a time of relative peace and quiet. Of course, while he was leading trouble was brewing. Sending cruise missles, meeting with Yasser Arafat, and pulling out of Somalia didn't help. Let's face it, Clinton, and any such clone would only work in the 90's period.
