I’d actually prefer either his wife or him to Obama.

Clinton was more worried about his legacy than his ideology ... which meant that he cared what the American people thought of him. This left him open to being pushed around by Gingrich. Bill Clinton wouldn’t have shoved Obamacare down our throats at the expense of his popularity.

Hillary wouldn’t be much better on domestic policy than Obama ... but she has the stones for international gamesmanship. Obama doesn’t.

You forget that he and his wife tried as hard as they could to get Hillary-care.

The only reason the Clintons backed off on a hard-line approach similar to Obama's was the Repub takeover in '94.

Their ideology is the same as Obama's. The "legacy" emphasis came later after impeachment.
