I saw this one coming ever since he signed that law making fetuses (sp?) eligible for healthcare
not starting an pro life pro choice thread here - I have a bad feeling though that this is the first step to banning abortion completely. Its not going to stop the "baby killing" if a woman wants to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy that much, she'll do it - Mexico and Canada aren't that far away and to a woman who is desperate, anything will do.
Instead of babies dying - we will reverse the problem and have women dying from sepsis or blood loss from improper closet abortions.

It's important to point out in terms of this discussion that the link was to an editorial -- not a news story.
Which doesn't mean it isn't right, but it is not offered by the Times as Fact -- rather as Opinion.
Having said that, one of my problems with this President is that he and his administration have been deceptive about a number of things.

Not that this is directly about Bush, but I thought my liberal GC friends would want to hear about it...
I saw a bumper stick a while back. It had an American flag with little white doves as the stars and it said "Peace is Patriotic". I loved it!!! Wish I could find it somewhere!

I think the reason people are nostalgic for Clinton is that things were in general pretty good back then, save for his sexual escapades in the O.O. I will say that his foreign policy was much better than some of his predecessors and certainly better than the current regime. Wow did I just say regime? It does sort of feel like a mass conspiracy of sorts is lurking out there, but at least it only has to last a year and 4 months.

I'm going to have to agree with a non-traditional school of thought and posit for you all that the legacy of a president should have little to do with the economic stability of the country DURING his presidency. Economic fluctuations are largely cyclical (yep, oversimplification, i realize), and the long-term effects often are seen years later.

True - historians I have read or heard speak put Clinton at middle of the road, at best. The only citation that comes to mind is Robert Dallek, a top Presidential historian who I have taken lectures with, and Dallek places Clinton in the lower/bottom half of Presidents.
Actually, your thought isn't so non-traditional; a great deal many more scholars are looking at the economic impacts of presidents after their administrations. It's more widely accepted now to say that, yes, even if a President was in office for good economic times, they were not necessarily of his own doing.
I think people have to draw the line between a good President and a good politician. Clinton is a damn good politician - his public speaking is excellent, he works crowds well, and he fits the TV generation to a T. Does this mean he was a good President? Not necessarily.
I don't know - I was a Clinton supporter at first, but as time has gone on and I've read more in history, I wouldn't repeat that statement.
