I have to wonder...why is there still so much animosity towards Clinton, 3 years after he left office? And why do so many people still like him a great deal?
For me, Clinton was a masterful politician. He took the Republican takeover of Congress in stride and worked with them on a variety of issues. As I see it, the Republicans went after him and his wife for the sole purpose of trying to bring them down...the GOP just did not like them and their popularity. It reeked of dirty politics. Did Clinton make fuck ups? Of course...many politicians do. Did he pay the price for his fuck ups? In the end, I'd say so.
So, I can't help but like the guy. He stood up to the forces against him, played the game and took his punishment when necessary. He's one tough hombre...and I don't think anyone can deny him that, not even his worst detractors.
