I look at Bill Clinton in light of GWB, and that puts Clinton on pretty high ground in my opinion. For me, it's not a matter of good things they've done, but bad things they shouldn't have. Clinton: extramarital sex in the office. Big. Fucking. Deal. The President should not have to be our moral compass - we have our respective religions for that. He would have disgraced the office if he let the country go to shit, but he didn't; for all his faults, I'd say we were in better straits in 2000 than we were in 1992. But I'll try to reduce my bias a little and give him two bad guy points for being too horny and lacking self control.
Now, we've got Dubya, and while I blame his administration for a lot of these things, they wouldn't go through without at least his implicit support. Faith-based initiatives, ESPECIALLY financial support to Christian churches - one point. Patriot Act. Another point. Coercion of the UN. Another point. Blocking stem cell research. Another point. He's already way in the hole; I don't feel the need to continue.
I admit that since I'm older now and all of this stuff is more recent, there may have been things about the Clinton administration that I forgot or overlooked, but overall, I think Clinton was miles ahead of Bush, or for that matter, Daddy Bush and Reagan as well.
