Last night I listened to an abridged audioBook of Bill Clinton's biography on my way back to Orlando. It has been really interesting to hear his side of the many stories that I heard and read about when I was in Middle School and High School. Toward the end of his presidency I began a process of learning more about his administration and I've found that my opinion about it has shifted.
I think that Clinton was a good president. I know that there was a lot of scandal put on him, but I don't think anything stuck -- accept the Monica Lewinsky bit.
I know that it was wrong for him to have done that, but it isn't exactly new, nor should it completely discredit everything he had done. Many Christians were very shocked by the whole thing at the time, which is shocking in itself. David had this same problem with a woman during his reign, and even had someone killed, but he is still remembered well. I think that Clinton might get the same treatment in time.
I think it is good to get information from both sides of the political arena, and I am glad that I am listening to Clinton's book. I wish that we could have another president that is as intelligent, caring and human as he is.

:)
Ok, I have nothing to offer here but love, but I want a piece of the Hilary book action and the Clinton Audio book too....
