However, governement historical record, as well as White House.org's official stance on legacy of Bill Clinton (the most successful president ever on paper):
During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.

Clinton was in fact the first democrat to win election to the presidency twice since FDR. Both times he did it he received less than 50% of the popular vote. At least George Bush got more than 50% in his reelection bid. Unemployment under George Bush has been lower too, and economic growth higher. Clinton only proposed a balanced budget when it looked like republicans were going to win congress and even then he projected it would take 10 years.
And finally, to celebrate my birthday, I am calling for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination (affirmative action that is).
