He fucked black people up on some serious shit, GOD DAMN.

It feels like it is hardly ever talked about.
Depends on who you ask. The right thinks he destroyed the economy.
Most regular people just remember the sex scandals.
So does the left after he repealed Glass-Steagall.
"First Black President."
I mostly remember him as the charismatic and charming sax playing guy who preceded 8 years of G. W. Bush making an utter mess of a large part of the world.
Good and Bad
Good and the short term for the country over all.
But now the long term affect got more people second guessing.
- Dont ask dont tell
- Defense of marriage act
- NAFTA
- "Tough on Crime" laws
- War on Drugs expansion
- Welfare reform
- Glass-Steagall Act repeal
there where positives, dont get me wrong, but yeah, His presidency, for me, is largely questionable in hindsight
Depends on who you ask. The right thinks he destroyed the economy. More moderate and left people realize he wasn't all that bad
I think this country is so polarized it's tough to get a straight answer out of anyone, but if you can cut through it, he's mostly seen as a good president who gave us eight good years of peace and prosperity. The 90's are pretty good memories for the most part, and GWB's reign makes Bill's look even better in retrospect. His scandals do weigh heavily for some, though. But for the most part, I think he has a great legacy in the memory of Americans, and that's overall a positive thing for Hillary.
I've definitely heard people say things like "if her presidency is anything like Bill's, I'll take it".

What? No one thinks he destroyed the economy, the economy was booming in the 90s. If anyone questions him on the economy it's the left because of the Glass-Stegal repeal, but the consequences of that weren't felt during his Presidency.
What did Bill Clinton do that was so destructive to the black community? I didn't follow politics until very recently.

Many people on the right believe Bill Clinton destroyed the economy. Just look at Trump attacking NAFTA
Okay now you're being overdramatic.
