Clinton fan here, I liked what he did. Here goes:
1. I wouldn't support the war, period... but I did know from the moment they announced Bush was prez-elect (The second time) that we were going to war in Iraq. We all should have, really.
2. Would NOT have supported the tax cut. The deficit IS a major concern, and it needs to be roped. He did a good job moving us in that direction. Plus, I am one of the citizens who benefits from taxation- I have two children in public school, I live in an area with a lot of urbanization, I've long been related to military personnel. These things need to be paid for, although I'm very pro-cuts. 20% more missile defense spending? Ug....
3. I'd feel the medicare bill was a copout on the socialized medicine bill, which I support, so I wouldn't dig that.
However, to look at it another way, I consider Clinton to be a *very* intelligent man, so if he wanted to sell me Iraq, I might believe him a little more than Bush. Bush sounds like a puppet. Clinton sounds like a puppeteer. I'm still anti-oil war, though. Tough call!
