At last we left our hero, President Bill Clinton was raking in huge popularity numbers all the way down to the bitter end of his eight years in the White House.
I spent at least seven of those eight years sitting in the tiny minority wondering, "What in the world do people see in this guy?"
Without getting into details and reliving that period, let's just say I wasn't a fan ... well, it goes much farther: My history book covers President Clinton in the "What happens if a president does absolutely nothing for eight years?" chapter.
But I know I'm in the minority on this one. Myself and the far, far, far right weren't fans, but everyone else has fond memories of his presidency.
But what has happened since then? Sen. Obama is gaining ground while simultaneously putting the back of his hand to that period, calling for a turn of the page from that type of politics and policy.
Even the media seems to be getting on board with the "Bash Bill" trend.
Is history proving my opinion of this Clintonian trouble right? I don't really know, but I must say that, as an Obama supporter, it is a relief to see that he doesn't have to walk the unwalkable tightrope of knocking Sen. Clinton without muddying the beloved President Clinton. That wouldn't have worked, so however this has happened, it makes me a happy man that he can do what's right: lumping them both together.
