Bill Clinton apologists?

What?

You want an apology for eight years of prosperity?

The "recession" (commonly thought of as a non- recession because it
was hardly noticed) was actually in 2001.

Er, I think Clinton was elected to make life better by creating a strong
economy for Americans to enjoy. That he palpably did, so he justified
the support and there is nothing to apologize for. The fact that your
boy pissed it all away within eight years still sticks in your craw.

The Lewinski nonsense was just the GoP hypocrites (yes, that's you
Mssrs. Gingrich, Burton, etc.) trying to bring him down by whatever
means they could.

Clinton was hardly perfect but he was a good President, especially
compared to what came before and after. I don't care that he screwed his
interns. I do care that, unlike either Bush, he actually managed to
balance the budget.
