I wasn’t a freeper when Clinton was president. I was a new mom (had my son and twin daughters during that time), and probably my least political of my life because I was so busy with the babies.
Anyway, I’m thinking that this is way worse than when Clinton was impeached. I don’t remember people being so upset.
I’m in California, so out here it’s a bit different. I’m judging a lot of this by my family and friends in Texas. They’re the ones that are upset by this current administration.
Am I forgetting what happened during Clinton or is Obama just a ton worse than Clinton?
I have never seen the people so enraged with the government as they are now. While Clinton wouldn't have had any qualms selling us out to the highest bidder, he didn't hate America. Hussein hates America and is out to destroy her.
Obama is much worse than Clinton.
Yes...

You have it right; no president has ever been as far-left, anti-American, marxist, socialist/fascist as the current holder of that office.
Obama goes further than Clinton. Clinton tried to get his health care plan through, lost, was beaten at the polls, and backed off.
Obama's more of an ideologue than Clinton was. Clinton's ties were with the more moderate Committee for a Democratic Majority, and Obama's are with the left of the party. So it's no surprise that there's more outcry about Obama's policies.
But it would be wrong to say that there's more personal animosity to Obama than there was to Clinton. That plays into the hands of people who dismiss the whole thing as racial. There was a lot of personal dislike for Clinton. He had a very sleazy way about him. The stories about his character were believable and largely true and caused much distaste for the man.
But it also depends on where you come from. Signs like the one in MO reflect something that's a lot more regional than anti-Clinton sentiment was. Politics have become a lot more divided along regional lines. There's also less of a sense in much of the country that there are two alternatives, one all good and the other all bad.
Obama is worse than Clinton was. For one thing he's less competent. For another his policies are more ambitious. But it was easier to believe in 1992 that Clinton was going to spoil everything. By 2008, it was clear that things had gotten pretty bad to begin with. Not that Obama isn't making them worse, but things don't look as clear-cut as they seemed then.
Obama is just a ton (and a half) worse than Clinton. That, plus the fact that even under the Clintonistas, we still had one branch of government functioning on a conservative level. Now, it’s full tilt socialism (communism w/a smiley face) control.
Clinton was a tax and spend liberal with the morals of an alley cat - dangerous but manageable. The current Resident is a national socialist with a narcissistic and egomaniac character who hates America, hates freedom, hates wealth, and is controlled by communists and muslims - he is much much more dangerous.
