If you believe the Clintons to be "great Americans"?
Please explain in what way (be specific). Please do not respond with, "because they are" type answer.
OK...13 answers and NOT 1 has any answer with substance!
I'm giving an opportunity here...
Willd...You have proven my point, as to which supporters answer more intelligently.
See the same question for Obama, and McCain.

When Bill was in Office our national debt was under control.
Gasoline was reasonable, and inflation was at a stand-still.
Just because we nosed into his private life, I'm talking about what happens behind closed doors, which has nothing to do with his job as president, he got a bad name. The only person who had any right to be mad was Hillary.
I don't know about "great" Americans, but at least they were doing a better job than has been done in the past 8 years.

They sure are ! They represent what many people want of life in the USA. To become wealthy & powerful. We should all be so lucky. College educated, successful politicians, high priced speaking engagements. Only child with a six figure income right out of college. If you can get past the "baggage" the Clintons can be the poster family of an successful American family. Dad & Mom still a couple (?) even after Dad's liaison(s). Are we jealous, annoyed or what? Obviously Trump is sucessfull & so is Oprah & Gates, so why are there Clinton bashers? ( let someone else answer that one )

"2 years in the past, this guy could have been carrying our luggage" Clinton hates Obama. it is the main dysfunctional speech in united states of america political history following the main unhinged team of fanatics ever presented. established protocol dictates that the vice president does the speech to re nominate the President. yet damaging under the impression of alcohol uncle Joe substitute into kicked the shrink through fact he's such an fool. Are you kidding me? i'm no longer the only one. united states of america is disgusted by ability of this Kabuki.

Ahhh, no one's answering with any substance because a lot of us understand that your question is designed for the purposes of Clinton bashing, just like the question you posted directly before this one. Bashing the Clintons is still alive and well in Republican circles I see, although that really is stating the obvious.
President Clinton has been the best President of my lifetime .... Bush the worst. Mr 28% himself has been nothing but an unmitigated disaster zone, and I would take a million more Bills ... with all the Monica-gates, than I would one single, solitary Bush 43.
As an overall package, with everything Bill & Hill have done with their lives and for their country, the answer is absolutely unequivocally yes.
EDIT:
Well, we will have to agree to disagree, as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. But, what I am talking about, is your slandering of the Clintons.
I have no desire to answer your question more directly ... or address it with what would be deemed an "intelligent" response in your opinion. Especially because you have no intention of taking onboard any views at all on the subject which run counter to your own.

I thought it was odd that "we" put Bill in the White House despite the controversies surrounding the couple. The way Hillary rolls her eyes at responses other candidates offer up makes me ill. The Clintons hold the citizens of the US to be beneath them.

Clinton was actually a very good president until that girl scandal. Hillary is the best for this country but im afraid more people are against a woman president then a black president.
Obama evidence shows hes bad american.

One only has to look at how much they donate to causes and the life they have led to know that. Hillary has fought for healthcare and child advocacy her whole life.
Obama has fought for some healthcare since his campaign.

If swindling your way to the top amounts to greatness, the Clintons fit right in, Ma'am.

If you ever lived in Arkansas and saw the goings on here you would know that they are some of the biggest con-artists in the world. Great Americans? NOPE! Great crooks? YES! Sorry I live here and I have seen more than my share of bad things. :)
