Charles Krauthammer on the Clinton legacy

"His greatest achievement was an act of brilliant passivity -- he got out of the way of one of the largest peacetime economic expansions in American history.

[...]

"Clinton never could have been elected during the Cold War. In the 1990s, history produced the president perfectly suited to the time -- a time of domesticity, triviality and self-absorption.

[...]

"What appalled me then, a feeling that returns as Clinton has gone national revisiting his own presidency, is the smallness of a man who granted equal valence to his own indulgences on the one hand and to the fate of nations on the other. It is the smallness that disturbs. It is that smallness that history will remember."

Brilliant!
