Never underestimate Bill Clinton. The big dog did it again with his rousing support of Barack Obama and his denunciation of Republican policies. His oratory was a firm reminder that he was one of America's most intelligent and articulate Presidents. He summarised America's problems very neatly by pointing to economic recession at home and failed leadership abroad. There was also a memorable line which summed up US foreign policy quite succinctly when Clinton said that people around the world were more impressed by 'the power of the examples that America makes, rather than the examples of American power'. Take heed and I say again, unless the Republicans deviate from a militaristic foreign policy, America will survive long eneough to see itself become the villain and this process is happening now!

Bill Clinton may be one of the most intelligent men ever to be President. You cannot explain away the fact that he disgraced his office with his affair with Monica Lewinsky.Blow jobs,cigars and subpoenas.
He failed to take on Al-Qaeda especially after the attacks on the two embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He should gone all to destroy Osama bin Laden in 1998. Could 9/11 have been averted if Clinton had toppled the Taliban in 1998?Who knows?
He also failed to address the issue of race in a way that only he could.He was a White Southerner who had huge appeal with Black America. No major initiative on race between 1993-2001.
