Bill Clinton is considered a great president by some and a failure by others.
I have the scandal books on him that show an alternate personality.
His credibility rested on a good economy and no major military operations.
His personal behavior left a lot to be desired.
Robert Samuelson wrote an editorial several years ago on this type of President. Monstrosity/Great.
Clinton was both a monster and great, but the two terms are interconnected and not mutually exclusive.
Charles Krauthammer wrote an editorial several years ago that said Clinton was a success in domestic and a failure in foreign policy.
Clinton could not exist as a normal person. He's an intellectual genius and personal failure.
Such people can deal with grand things in life, but not the mundane every day reality of life.
His credibility was alway's in question and Hillary who was the more successful of the two served as his enabler.
Most family members know a darker member of the family has problems, but are unable to analyze in traditional terms.
She has a legal background and not a psychiatric background.
His manipulations of people cost him his place in history and hurt her reputation as well.
She provided order for his chaos, which cost her credibility with public.
Hillary made a mistake with Bill, but life is full of people making mistakes.
That includes me.
