Clinton

Not a genius.

Bill Clinton was, to be sure, a very good politician, but that aptitude mainly manifested in getting himself elected. There's no real evidence that he's got the same talent for getting other people elected. His tenure did not end with increased Democratic majorities, a Democratic successor, or a vastly expanded social welfare state. The 90s were, to be sure, better for Democrats than the Bush years, but they shouldn't be blown out of proportion.
