The University of Arkansas Press has published the first scholarly assessment of Bill Clinton's presidency, titled "The Clinton Riddle."

The compilation of essays by 11 of the nation's top political scientists and historians concludes that Clinton was "a pragmatic and defensive player" who was at his best when under attack.

At the same time, it says 100 years from now, people still will be trying to figure out the lessons of the Clinton era.

The book promises to be more even-handed than the presidential library and museum in Little Rock, which presents some of the controversies of Clinton's presidency squarely from his perspective. The library opened with a gala celebration and has already been criticized for downplaying impeachment, the Whitewater investigation and Clinton's sex scandals.

Jeannie Whayne said she and other editors of "The Clinton Riddle" worked hard to present an unbiased work.

Fortunately our Heavenly Father takes good notes and I believe that the Clintons ( remember bjclinton said his woman was co-president) reign as leaders of the world will be given the Divine judgment it deserves.

Clintons stated foreign policy was "EQUALIZE ALL NATIONS" and the two of them play 'god' passing out their equalizer 'nuclear weapons' to their newly adopted N.Korean lunatics. The list has become ever so long of the number of nations now having the only kind of respect the Clintons respect nuclear.

The world as it sits today is the result of Clintonism, and they sold this nation short.
