Sorry Sixate, but I totally disagree with you on this. Clinton is seen as one of the best US President in recent history by most foreign people. Clinton did a lot of good things, both for the US and the world.

You seem to imply that no matter what good he did, as long as he had his dick sucked and lied about it, he must be a moron, to be ignored forever. His wife must obviously be stupid, because she stays with him, whereas other people with marital problems are always encouraged to talk it over, and stay together "for the sake of the children". Did it ever occur to you that Hillary might have *chosen* to stay with Bill because it was good for her career? That she might be smart enough to see that being married to an ex-President is better for your future than being the ex-wife of an ex-President?

And what about the fact that tons of US presidents have cheated on their wives? This has never been a problem before Clinton... kinda hypocrytical, isn't it? Makes you wonder if there was some sort of political motivation behind the whole episode - say the Republicans wanting to get rid of a Democratic president. But it's not like they had wanted to impeach him for this incident, had they? Oh, wait...

I think you're underestimating the Clintons, just like a lot of people underestimate Bush. You don't become a President by being stupid - it takes a lot of intelligence and political insight.

And actually, I think Clinton's quote is rather good - it's intelligent and obviously correct.

I couldn't disagree with somebody more on a topic.
