If your a rightwinger, why wouldn't you be proud of Bill Clinton?
Nobody has ever done as much damage to the liberal cause.
In his wake, Republicans control
1. The White House
2. The Senate
3. The House of Representatives
4. The majority of State Governors
5, The Supreme court
What's not to love?

Clinton: An awesome US President, (followed by a complete dog).
January 2001 stats
Longest economic expansion in American history
The President’s strategy of fiscal discipline, open foreign markets and investments in the American people helped create the conditions for a record 115 months of economic expansion. Our economy has grown at an average of 4 percent per year since 1993.
More than 22 million new jobs
More than 22 million jobs were created in less than eight years -- the most ever under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous twelve years.
Highest homeownership in American history
A strong economy and fiscal discipline kept interest rates low, making it possible for more families to buy homes. The homeownership rate increased from 64.2 percent in 1992 to 67. 7 percent, the highest rate ever.
Lowest unemployment in 30 years
Unemployment dropped from more than 7 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000. Unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics fell to the lowest rates on record, and the rate for women is the lowest in more than 40 years.
Paid off $360 billion of the national debt
Between 1998-2000, the national debt was reduced by $363 billion — the largest three-year debt pay-down in American history. We are now on track to pay off the entire debt by 2009.
Converted the largest budget deficit in American history to the largest surplus
Thanks in large part to the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act, the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, and President Clinton’s call to save the surplus for debt reduction, Social Security, and Medicare solvency, America has put its fiscal house in order. The deficit was $290 billion in 1993 and expected to grow to $455 billion by this year. Instead, we have a projected surplus of
$237 billion.

Lowest crime rate in 26 years
Because of President Clinton’s comprehensive anti-crime strategy of tough penalties, more police, and smart prevention, as well as common sense gun safety laws, the overall crime rate declined for 8 consecutive years, the longest continuous drop on record, and is at the lowest level since 1973.
and by pure coincidence....at the SAME time..(shock/horror)
Lowest poverty rate in 20 years
Since Congress passed President Clinton’s Economic Plan in 1993, the poverty rate declined from 15.1 percent to 11.8 percent last year — the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. There are now 7 million fewer people in poverty than in 1993. The child poverty rate declined more than 25 percent, the poverty rates for single mothers, African Americans and the elderly have dropped to their lowest levels on record, and Hispanic poverty dropped to its lowest level since 1979.
You won't get another Clinton for a looooong time.
He was also an international superstar that people were proud of, unlike Bush who is an international embarrassment to be avoided.
If the rest of the world voted tomorrow, Bush would win in....Poland, and lose everywhere else...:>Grin>

Here's a better question eek?
What did Bill Clinton have to do with any of that?
Just because they put a monkey into a rocket doesn't mean he's an astronaut.
Like Bill he's only along for the ride. And the vast majority of the American people DAMN WELL KNOW IT.
That's why Republicans control everything.
