Well, there is one thing Clinton did for which he deserves some praise: Welfare reform. Of course, the bad things he did far outweigh it.

The Republican Congress under Gingrich made welfare reform happen. Clinton just went along with it once it became inevetable, after first resisting it.

Perhaps you forgot, but Clinton was brought "kicking and screaming" to welfare reform, he was totally against it until Dick Morris told him that position was a political loser.

He didn't do this voluntarily. It was crammed down his throat by a Republican congress.

The only reason why he signed it was to save his political butt. Had he vetoed the bill in 96, Bob Dole would have been President...
