Was Clinton's greatest accomplishment defeating the VRWC
He is a man of numerous accomplishments but the one he is most proud of is winning his battle against the VRWC. They threw everything they possibly could and he not only survived but prevailed. Do you think like him that this is his greatest achievement?

5. 22 million new jobs and the respect of the world aren't chopped liver!
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy wasn't defeated. It was just finally exposed to sunlight.

7. Maybe?
I'd have to make a list first. But honestly, his complicity in maintaining and in fact furthering the conglomeration of the media only aided the VRWC. So... not sure how to respond really.

8. Nah. VRWC still going strong.
I would think the economy, 22 million new jobs, low crime rate, high home purchase rates, etc.

Plus, he really did well in foreign relations. Worked a lot on the peace process with Northern Ireland. He even got himself a statue in Ireland for that one. And he came very close to an Israeli Palestinian peace deal. The closest anyone has come.

9. Let me restate it ~ He considers he won his battle against them
Granted they are all still alive and well and up to their same old shit but Clinton Prevailed in his personal battle against them. They could not get any of their charges to stick and Clinton left office far more popular than he entered office and also far more popular than their hero Reagan. So I feel he won. Kind of like we won against fascism during WW II but it is rearing it's ugly head again so I guess we didn't really win that one either.

12. Greatest Accomplishment? Staying Married To Hillary
If you ask me that was his greatest accomplishment. He is an outstanding man and he will go down in history as one of our best Presidents. But you can not forget Hillary. I know of no finer woman who has ever served in public life. She is, in this 57-year-old mans opnion, a true role model for our nation's young ladys. Smart, well educated, and active in public life, devoting herself to service to her nation. His greatest accomplishment? It sould be clear.
