It wasn't simply that Clinton created the greatest prosperity in the country's history. Or that we created 22 million new jobs, more than ever before. Under Clinton, poverty was reduced 25%.
From Sidney Blumenthal
But presidents matter. That's one of the biggest lessons I learned being in the White House.
Clinton took very tough decisions on the economy.
The book shows Clinton in the presidency as a profile in growth.
The biggest mistakes, early on, involved foreign policy and involved the strategy for health care.
On health care, virtually every political error that could be made was made.
At the same time, Clinton was doing a lot things right, like the economy.
The attack on Clinton on terrorism is entirely politically inspired by the right-wing of the Republicans, and has no basis in fact whatsoever.
Clinton was very early on aware of the problem of international terrorism.
We barely missed killing Bin Laden. There were numerous findings issued by the President to kill him. We rolled up terrorist cells. We stopped the millennium bombings.
