presidential approval ratings
Published Oct. 14, 2008
Interesting website I stumbled across. Shows a comparison of presidential approval ratings over time since Truman. Not trying to make any political point, just thought others might find it interesting. Seems like Reagan and Clinton were the only two presidents in recent history that didn't lose a significant amount of approval during their presidency (Clinton actually ended way up).

If you click the 'next' or 'prev' buttons, it shows you an individual graph of each president with significant events highlighted.

I don't think anyone is defending Clinton's morality.

Did you forget in the testimony that Monica gave that once while she was occupied that the president was carrying on foreign affairs and they snickered over it? It's a big difference when a president goes to his private chambers and has a romp with the first lady than a president whose sitting at the table of the oval office playing around and answering the telephone. That's history anyway but it just goes to show how easily moral issues are forgotten in our country.

He certainly does rise to the occasion when duty calls.

Regarding Clinton, it's not surprising - he has a proven way of getting things up.

This has some good information about Clinton and terrorists: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/clinton.asp
And I don't really think what he was doing with monica really distracted him, it was the witch hunt that followed.

No. I'm entering into a era long gone: as gone as "gone with the wind."
