Thoughts on Bill Clinton

After reading the numerous articles on Bill Clinton I have came to reflect my thoughts on Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was a good president. Clinton pushed for equality among the gays in the military with the "don't ask don't tell". Clinton pushed for equality among the citizens. Although the affair with Ms. Lewinsky may have tainted my views on Clinton, I put that aside and looked at what he did for the country. Although he did let his personal views such as appointing his wife to the task force for the health care reform act. Although many republicans preached to impeach Clinton, few of the votes in the first stage of impeachment actually sent to vote him out. Clinton also put women in important posts throughout the areas if his administration. Clinton really focused on the economic needs of the nation reguarding health care reform, welfare and unemployment. I believe that too many republicans try to write Clinton off because of personal mistakes but I believe that is rather irrelevant when looking at the nation as a whole. Clinton stimulated the economy and the fact that his second term after all the affairs was even better than his first really surprised me and shows how eager he was to bounce back.
