Re: Tom, you probably meant bubonic?
As far as Clinton's 8 years goes, we seem to have a slightly different definition of "peaceful," but maybe you just mean military actions that are not considered "protestable" by the Left.
As for Clinton's character, a man who could go on national TV, look me straight in the eye, and lie about his sex life, could just as easily lie about the economy, his foreign policy, or anything else that serves his purposes. The guy was a ratbag.
