While I don't like him, he was better than Carter. I do respect him for one thing. Reagonnomics had kicked in and the economy was going good. Slick Willie had enough smarts to sit back keep out of it and take the credit for the soaring economy. Which he got from most of the people who did not understand economics.
His problem with Monica was he went after a young one that did not have the intelligence to keep her mouth shut. Other presidents had done the same thing, and the White House staff kept it quite or covered it up. Monica went out side the White House and blabbed. Even after it came out most of the women of this nation saw nothing wrong with it, and actually cheered him on. I was working in DC at the time, and heard a lot from the women working in my building. They may have hated his politics but they love his virality. They said "So he lied about it, what do you expect". And they would growl or make cat sounds as they walked away.
I do think he was far better than what we are now stuck with.
