He was an intellectual--something no one would EVER accuse any of the Bushes of, or Reagan. The humor was often at his own expense. Did anyone see the video he made of life in the White House that he showed to the Press Corps at their annual banquet a few years back? Hilarious! (I also thought Gore could be a very funny guy, and didn't see him as wooden, as Leno and others portrayed him. But maybe that's because I heard the content in the words, and not just the delivery. Oh, but to have some meaningful content coming from the current resident of the White House!)

And the biggest feature of Clinton's presidency? Most of us where a hell of a lot better off in that economy. The national debt was way down and budgets were balanced. Bush has managed in two years to do as much or more damage as Reagan did during his entire presidency. He's so conspicuously peddling as fast as he can, to try to let the rich get richer before his rich boy carcass gets kicked out of office.
