The Legacy of King Bill

The Clinton Library opens today in Little Rock, Arkansas.

This seems like as good a time as any to ponder Bill's legacy. In the wake of the recent elections..it's hard to say whether or not his impact on the Democratic Party is really positive.

I personally think the guy was a great President. He presided over some incredible peace and prosperity. He also worked his ass off on the Middle East peace process. But he was also a lightning rod...and he and Hillary still are an obsession for the rightwingers.

He moved the party more to the center. But he also pushed out the liberals which are arguably the soul of the party.

I'm having a tough time deciding if Clinton is ultimately a blessing or a curse.
