People remember Clinton as being better than he was because they think he was railroaded over the BJ.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoPeople remember Clinton as being particularly good because he exited on an economic high note and was followed by 9/11, the dot-com crash and two decades long wars. Then combine that with all the people who aren't old enough to remember the news from back then who think it was just a blowjob and the blowjob wasn't more of an Al Capone tax evasion type of moment and it's pretty easy to see why he has such a positive reputation. Whether or not HIPAA is a bad thing is very much a matter of opinion. That's the one thing that's keeping medical info from being whored out like all our other metadata these days. The last uncontroversially good president we've had was born in the 19th century.
- therealx 6y agoPeople remember HIPAA poorly? Ive worked very closly in the industry, and I think it was a net positive. It could have been better, but it sure beat what was there.
- Gibbon1 6y agoI can summarize the thing about Clinton, if you weren't already butthurt over him being elected then you were just annoyed about the BJ. Far more damaging was NAFTA and letting China into the World Trade Association.
- coldtea 6y ago>and letting China into the World Trade Association That probably meant the WTO. Still, "letting"? As if it's the role of the 4% of the world to dictate whether the 18% of the world would enter a supposedly neutral global trade organization?
