Neither makes for a great President.

I thought "Slick Willie" was a rather apt name for Clinton, but during his
Presidency, I developed a grudging respect for his competence. What
surprises me, is that some hold such a deep hatred for the man. After
all, his time was relatively uneventful and prosperous. Now, I will admit
to an anti-Bush bias, predominately because of Iraq, but what astounds me,
is that some are calling Bush one of our greatest Presidents. I just
don't understand it.

Personally, I don't think there is all that hatred of Clinton. He wasn't bad. I
think what you see a lot are comparisons to Clinton when someone starts putting
the knife in Bush's back. Very often a comparison to Clinton is appropriate
simply because he did the same thing or something close to it.

As to Bush being one of our greatest Presidents, and your inability to
understand it, accept it on faith.
