We saw the lowest gas prices EVER (adjusted for inflation) under President Clinton. He didn't have any kind of vested interest in the Middle East.
We saw the country rebound from the late 80s recession and the first Gulf War with Clinton.
In case anyone bothered to notice, Clinton always had a respectable approval rating, even in the wake of his indiscretions in his personal life. People can't condemn him for the Lewinski affair; more than half this country has affairs every day.
Under Bush, we have seen gas prices QUADRUPLE at a high, and are currently at nearly TRIPLE the low we saw with Clinton. Bush has done nothing, absolutely nothing to curb the increase at any point. Why weren't they concerned when gas went from under $1 per gallon to even $1.50? A 50% increase at that point and he didn't lift a finger (why would he when he's making a fortune).
Under Bush, we have seen the beginnings of another war like Vietnam, with no clear goal and no end in sight. Our soldiers are dying for no apparent reason. It's not about democracy; there are plenty of other places we could be fighting for democracy and we aren't. It's about oil, and we all know it.
Bush has set a record for the lowest recorded approval ratings of a sitting president. He's done nothing to try to improve that image. He constantly comes up with different reasons why we should believe in him, always shifting when he gets proven wrong.
Bush has destroyed what good image we did have as Americans. We might still be a super power in terms of our military, but we are a laughing stock around the world.
Really though, if you want to talk about great presidents, we have to go back to the days of FDR. It's been a long while since we had a truly great president. All due respect to Reagan, but he did put us through a recession.
Neither are my idea of the best a president should be, but between the two, Clinton is without a doubt the best. Bush, is a national disgrace, and that is the nicest thing I can think of to say about Bush.
clinton definetly you guys are talking about how he disgraced the office , the real disgrace is this war without reason , so the man smoked a little herb and got fellatiod on the job so what all of them do it , bush is an internatinal terrorist and that's not a disgrace people pull the masks of your faces and see this guy for what he really is bush is a ruthless tyrant that started a war over a personal beef with saddam ! where are the weapons of mass distruction where's the evidence he had something to do with 9/11 why are we there again? to steal oil and that's the disgrace
If forced to choose which was the better president, Clinton will win. He was something of a disgrace to the office, but was not inept and allowed far less corruption within his administration.

I would like Bush as a fishing buddy NOT a president. I liked having Clinton as president.
I like Bush. I dislike Clinton. However, I don't really trust either of them.
No. I do not like Bush or Clinton.
If forced to choose which was the better president, Clinton will win. He was something of a disgrace to the office, but was not inept and allowed far less corruption within his administration.
Nothing like loading a question.
I like Bush as president
I don't like Clinton because of what he did to the DNC took them from the party in control to the minority party.
Treated women as pawns in his politcal carreer even his wife he offer up to be the media while he hide.
Anyone having to have the word "is" define for him is beyond the belief.
It's always safe to like Bush, clinton on the other hand, you need to watch your back.
