    F.D.R. WAS NOT a good president! That is just what you learn in school. He instituted the harshest regulations on the free market of any president in history, planted the seed for many bloated bureaucracies such as the FDA and was the beginning of the end for sound Gold backed currency. It was his regime was the impetus for further bailouts and massive spending within our government for years to come, without WWII to boost the economy, he would have bankrupted our country.

  • How to win elections ? : Work by the Three rules : Change,Education,Jobs.

  • I have a good feelin bout this Clinton fellow

  • Clinton repaired a lot of the ruin Reagan and Bush 1 caused on the USA. Too bad Bush 2 came along and destroyed it all again. Please pay close attention to the people behind the current batch of Republicans. DO NOT VOTE for the ones managed by the same people as Bush.

  • @AmericansAnnoyMe Well said

  • wow!! Perot was right on alot of things!!

    Everyone thought he was stupid, but I think what hurt Perot was his Vice President nominee.

    He was a Joke!

    But it's sad in a way cause Bush and Clinton kind of avoided Perot and acted like he wasn't really there.. I feel Perot was right though going back and listening to this more..makes you wonder why people won't stand up today and vote in an Independant.. I think it's time for one.

    I loved Clinton though.

  • Bill Clinton, Peros and Bush to an extent were smart people and politicians

  • Peros opening statement about party control of election process was true then and even truer today

  • Wow. when you look at this video, I can't believe Mr. Bush was elected president . stunning.

  • Anyone see a pattern?

  • The Democrat poster-boy has been, since world war II, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Every modern progressive bill since has been modeled after the New Deal.

  • change, change change.

  • The caliber of speeches and candidates back when i was just a kid was sooo much better. What happened to us?

  • The issues they're talking about, outside of the Cold War, are the same issues we're dealing with in 2011. Nearly twenty years have passed and we're still talking about change, top down economics, and a governor touting his record of job growth. Definition of insanity anybody?

  • @AnonVoid

    That's because for the last 20 years we've been voting canidates from the same two establishments which are really two sides of the same coin. Back then, the election should have gone to Ross Perot. This election, it should go to Ron Paul.

  • "Real Hope for Change"

    i think i know where Obama got his slogan from...

  • You cut perot off! Why? Don't act like the major news networks!

  • I remember watching this. We all sat around the tv. WE were in college and it was silent in the room when bill talked.

  • @jetfa9 he got a huge magnetism.

  • esse debate poderia ter sido feito em português!

  • I disagree that Clinton is the poster boy of the Dems..it's always been Kennedy.. Just before Clinton left office he did two things that screwed us.. #1 he signed the China Trade Bill of 2000 and #2 he deregulated the derivatives that brought us the sub-prime debacle, which brought down our economy..

  • You know something .. I need to do some googling .. So far I am thinking .. we all would have been better of with Ross.

  • Did Perot say AIPAC money? Wow, he has the guts.

  • I think Perot only lost because nobody could stand to listen to his accent. 

  • Ross Perot 1992

    Ross perot 1996

    Ralph Nader 2000

    Ralph Nader 2004

    Ron Paul 2008

    Ron Paul 2012

  • Bill Clinton was absolutely brilliant in these debates. A clear demonstration why he was the most intelligent president since FDR!!!

  • @greg4161 No way. I'm a proud Reagan conservative, and Bill Clinton did nothing for this country. It was the policies of Ronald Reagan, along with the Republican-controlled Congress that made our economy prosperous during the late 90s. We had 8 years of peace and prosperity under George W. Bush, which is now being ruined by Obama. Clinton tried to take credit for everything that Reagan did.

  • @sean2015 Then why did they drop the ball so bad in the 'W' years?

  • @ETericET It was the fault of Pelosi and the Democratic-controlled Congress. Dodd and Frank caused the subprime mortgage crisis.

  • @sean2015 I googled all that and you seem to be wrong.Can someone else with real facts please explain?

  • @sean2015 riiight, he did nothing for this country. he only took a crumbling economy and turned it into a surplus at the end of his term.

  • @shinlawarrior that wasn't because of Bill Clinton, that was Ronald Reagan...Clinton merely took credit for everything that Reagan did

  • @sean2015 are you nuts?? how could Reagan be responsible for a surplus during CLINTON'S administration? the federal deficit was 290 billion dollars when Clinton came into office, and in 1994, the first fiscal year for Clinton's term, he turned that deficit into 95 billion. 4 short years later, he turned the deficit into a SURPLUS of 70 billion and by 2000, the federal gov't had 86 billion in the green. this was all blown by 2002 when Bush took office. check your facts.

  • @sean2015 maybe an objective position might help here. I'm from Ireland and I can tell you most assuredly that Reagan fundamentally bankrupted the American economy through 'Reaganomics' and progressive de-regulation. Reaganomics is the policy of using up all available economic resources i.e. pensions, health insurance etc. as chips on a global gambling and speculative market.

    Clinton = smart guy, who not only brought the American economy back into the black, but also elevated the USA globally

  • @LiamMacSuibhne the Irish don't vote in US presidential elections, so their opinions don't matter. Sorry.

  • @sean2015 and in that statement, you prove how deluded, closed-off, unintelligent and backward you are. :)

    Just because Irish people don't vote (Which I didn't claim ) in American elections, it does not mean we don't see things clearly from a distance. Au contraire.

    That's what I meant by ''an objective position". God......I feel so embarrassed for you right now.

    'God' protect you. You'll need it.

  • @sean2015 OR???...are you saying you 'own' YouTube?? Or only Americans can decide/ argue/ debate American issues?? You poor, pathetic child.

    

  • @LiamMacSuibhne You can express as many opinions about our presidents as you want, all I'm saying is that those opinions mean nothing over here as far as: 1) who runs for office, and 2) who gets elected.

    If you like, you Irish could even have your own "pretend election" for US president, knock yourselves out. Unfortunately the only ballots they're going to count are the ones cast here in the states. That's just the way it is.

  • @sean2015

    You got balls! see what has happened again, Bush JR went in to office reverted everything Clinton did and look what we have now?? why is it that it takes a recession to vote a republican out?!?

  • Bush sounds like Bruce from family guy.

  • Ross Perot lookin' fresh ! An Old-school Ron Paul.

  • So, your best president ever got his dick sucked by an intern and lied about it on national tv? :D

  • @royalsteven Exactly. Great guy, great president. Just the type of leader we need.

  • Ahah ok then :D

  • Dayuuuum! Bill Clinton is SEXY!!!!!! That is one fine specimen....

  • I'm voting for Perot lol.

  • Yes, I'm a huge FDR fan. He was a man of great vision and a bold leader. He was clearly a man of the people and did not let corporate and other special interests control his agenda. He lifted millions of americans out of poverty during the great depression similiar to the current economic downturn which was a direct result of corporate elitism promoted by the Republican party. I would bet my bottom dollar you are a fan of Pres Moron ( george bush).

  • @greg4161 Of course, the guy who imprisoned Japanese Americans is a Democrat hero.

  • Clinton was brilliant in these debates. the most intelligent president since FDR!!

  • @greg4161 big FDR fan? so in otherwords, you support elitism and institutionalized racism? because thats what FDR firmly believed in

  • Perot's such a cool guy.

  • let's get it on? is mills lane running for president?

  • I was all for Clinton, however, I really liked what Perot said at the very end. Bush looks so uncomfortable listening.

  • Ross Perot was the best choice. He was right about NAFTA

  • We should have elected Perot. People, there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. They get their money from the same people. They're in bed with the same special interest groups. They create the same problems. If you think that there is a huge difference between the two parties then you are niave. Vote third party.

  • @springjo1 the thing that seems to be a diiference to the two is, The Republicans seem to favor the rich while the Democrats favor the poor. that's one big difference I see.

  • Perot was givin' em hell at the end of this.

  • what separates Ross Perot, maybe his big ass ears!

  • "Late Night With David Letterman" called Henry Ross Perot for it's APRIL 21, 1992 edition. The show also had guests Tom Selleck, who was born in DETROIT (1/29/45), fitting nicely with Perot's link to General Motors since that company IS DETROIT and bought Perot's EDS for $2.4 bil. in 1984. Unrelated to Bob Dylan or Manfred Mann, the 4/21/92 episode aired on the 77th birthday of actor Anthony Quinn

  • David Letterman telephoned Ross Perot on the 4/21/92 edition of “Late Night”; the date was the 77th birthday of actor Anthony Quinn. Unrelated to “Shields against D-grade propaganda”: Quinn starred with LAUREN BaCALL in 1993’s “A Star For Two”. Unrelated to Larry King’s late night radio slot at Mutual Broadcasting, the movie had CARina (DETROIT or 9th grade English) BARONE, who isn’t related to reporter Michael BARONE answering a caller-- “Perot: Air Force planned to strafe daughter’s wedding”

  • got to love early 90's CGI for that opening.

  • all of them are left handed!! im left handed so i think thats really cool

  • I was four years old at this moment. WHY DIDN'T YOU VOTE FOR ROSS PEROT?

  • Comment removed

  • Y'all stupid excusing Bush. More stupid not allowing a true American enter the Oval Office.

  • Did anyone notice that all 3 candidates are Southerners?

  • @sakusia Bush is a New Englander.

  • How exactly is Bill Clinton any better? NAFTA is really not that different from the free trade agreement that Republicans are cooking now.

    Bill Clinton did nothing to stop corporations from moving factories to other countries. Even worse, he encouraged them to do so by signing NAFTA.

    As for wars, well, Bill Clinton did try to caputre Bin Laden. But his administration failed to do that.

    I don't like neither Bush, but, seriously, why be so crazy about Clinton?

  • @ttiiyy Well I think most liberals realized they needed an ideological idol to be able to site as their political jesus. You can see it in conservatives too today as they site Reagan as god, and liberals site clinton.

  • @Betty5150 fair enough

  • @Betty5150 "cite"

  • @Betty5150 the glory of clinton is that he was fiscally conservative. socially, quite liberal, i agree. but his monetary policies were overwhelmingly conservative. Not, obviously, in the sense of neo-conservatism., but instead that he could tolerate social misfortune and global wrongdoing, while simultaneously keeping this country fiscally sound. and i would never, ever, ever, sit down with the man in a debate. he's an animal

  • @Betty5150 well, Liberals also priase guys like FDR, JFK, and Lincoln. They were all pretty liberal. as far as Republicans are concerned, If Teddy, or Eisenhower, or Nixon were to run today, the republicans would say they are too liberal to be republican.

  • @Betty5150 LMAO liberals don't cite Clinton as a God.

  • @Betty5150 I would think Liberals would like F.D.R. I'm a "conservative" and I think he's one of the best presidents ever.

  • @Betty5150  A liberals god is Dennis kusinich. Not blue dog Bill Clinton

  • Ross Perot speaking the damn Truth!

  • Let's get it on!

  • Perot was shut out entirely with concern to this exchange.

  • Clinton lied to the American people outright. Why would we want him back in. I do think Kennedy was a good president. But he set the economy up for failure that 9/11 and Katrina set off for Bush. He was good. But he did lie to the American people.

  • Count the number of times Clinton said "change." Haha. Sound familiar?

  • Where is the continuation of this vid???

  • "We aren't coming apart at the seams, for heaven's sakes. We're the United States of America". Wow. Really??? Is that really the best you can do? Explains why your son also screwed stuff over.

  • Here's the difference between Bush and Clinton - Clinton practically saved U.S and its reputation. Bush killed it and burned it to ashes.

  • @TwilightFrosting Clinton lied to America. Bush did the best he could in a bad situation.

  • @TwilightFrosting Bill Clinton saved US and its repuation? How? How did he save the US? What trouble was the US in? Jobs flowing to foreign countries? Did Clinton solve that problem? NOPE. After he signed NAFTA, imports from Canada and Mexico replace what could have been made in the US.

    To be fair to Clinton, stupid Republicans made things worse by helping out China and other countries through stupid free trade agreements.

    I just don't see how Clinton is any better than Bush.

  • the republicans should have nominated ross perot for president of the united states. he was very conservative in his views and would have run the country like a business. the republicans should have seen that bush was not going to win and should have given perot their nomination.

  • Perot was not well liked by the Republican establishment and though he was conservative, he was for changing the system that was supporting the Republican (and Democratic) Party. They saw him as being dangerous, in other words.

    Running the country like a business was similar to what Bush did/ tried to do and that would have been a horrible experience.

  • @jbfootballkid Actually, back then a lot of people thought that Bush will be re-elected as his approval rating after the first term was high. That's why many strong Democrat candidates decided on not running for the primary (Except for Al Gore who didn't run because his son had an accident). Clinton won because he himself is good, strong ticket with Al Gore, and some bad late policies and results by Bush.

  • hmmm Clinton: "Change" "change" "change" wow...familiar...

  • @chaset51 yeah, the mention of 'hope and change.'

  • Ross Perot shouldve been President. Clinton and Bush were both jackasses

  • @chaset51 I agree and I was a total Perot "mark" (fan) but he was very arrogant, a bad campaigner and sadly - couldn't deal with all the B.S. so he flaked out a little. He peaked too early.

  • Republicans and Democrats are the same you sheep. They both work for the same international bankers. This why you get slapped after every election just like the ho that runs away from one pimp to get to another. Perot tried to save you but you went with Trilateral Clinton. Noticed they closed the loopholes so now Ron Paul (the Perot of today) is completely marginalized. Obama is CFR just like Clinton. It's almost over for you sheep. Bankers win again.

  • Ross perot was great

  • Was Perot more to the left than Bill Clinton or more to the center?

  • @navylaks2 I think he was more center conservative.

  • Hearing three old men saying "lets get it on" is just weird.

  • Who the fuck is the third guy?

  • Clinton had the blessing of the INTERNET BOOM!

  • politics was dope back then!! why the third party doesnt participate to media debate animore?????

  • @raoulhery to keep them out of the picture

  • @raoulhery They want to but they're usually shut out.

  • ...OKC bombing, repeated Clinton scandals, Tamil Tigers terror campaign, numerous missed chance to catch Bin Laden, embassy bombings, Kosov War, Enron, Columbine…

    Perot was considered a wing-nut back then, but Perot seems like a sage today. Oh, side note. Notice how tan Clinton is... I have never seen him so tan. Really trying to repeat the Nixon/Kennedy debate, clever ol' slick willy.

  • @DJxFaded And not a single Republican willing to be Americans and support the President of the United States. Shame how history certainly repeats itself.

  • @langleywil I am pretty sure you can make the same argument for the Democratic party. Neither side is perfect.

  • This list was in no way a blame Clinton list.

    As a history major, we deal with 'collective memory' and and the creation of 'meta-narratives' for every time period. People tend to idealize these times and forget the bad and remember the good. My point is the 90's were NOT all peaches and cream like I hear so many people mention (often from Clinton supporters or young people)

    It was an incredibly turbulent and vitriolic time. And it was during this time the USA was sold out by both parties.

  • @DJxFaded thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • @DJxFaded how was the OKC bombing the fault of Bill Clinton? It wasn't his fault that he gave an anti-government wacko a reason to attack

  • The 1990’s: AIDS, Gulf War I, apartheid till 1994, Exxon Valdez, the USSR till 1991, massive earthquake in Iran, the PLO and the Lebanese civil war, too many US serial killers to name, too many airline crashes to name, Rodney King beating, LA riots, Haitian turmoil, IRA bombings, Hurricane Andrew, Waco & David Koresh, Bosnia War & genocide, Somalia genocide, Rwanda genocide, NAFTA and the giant sucking sound begins, OJ Simpson hysteria, Mexico’s Gov’t almost collapses...

  • @DJxFaded 1996 i was born

  • Let's get it on!

  • Soo owned by Perot at the end! Damn...

  • Miss the 90's best of times compared to now !!

    Wish Clinton was back in office !

  • It is interesting Hilary was reading a book on insanity in 1992.

  • Wow, does Jim Lehrer even age?

  • If the economy was in the shape it is now in in 1992 Perot would have won by a mile

  • Too bad that this wasn't the entire debate.

    Perot slammed them hard.

    Irrespective, Clinton was the lesser of two evils by a significant margin. He went on to do excellent things for America.

    But hey, then he got a BJ.

  • Well, I can't believe people still buy all these tired, cliched bullsh*t coming from all of them. There is no straight talk from any one of them and the whole appeal to emotions, dodging of real issues and most important of all, simply refusing to say anything that contradicts the cardinal rule of American politics: never make the voters feel bad about themselves, therefore, all we have is "people're great", "you guys are the best", you know what? That's pure bullsh*t only 2 year old believes.

  • dat lukks nothin like george bush init

  • @JackLiberal thats Bush Sr. dumbass

  • @JackLiberal LOL!

  • What a race....never been anything like it before or since. THREE excellent choices, all going at it, with their A-game, in a debate, fighting to lead a nation that had just been stung by a horrible recession.

    To those who weren't around and imagine it must have been great, it was, and then some. Just an amazing race.

  • Perot for life man he owns it here

  • Well they've got a point, I don't any experience in running up a 4 trillion dollar debt.

    Well, if I had been able to vote back then, I probably would have voted for Ross Perot.

  • Have u seen "The American psedo smile" on Bush face@ 1:50?

  • @addiyomen dont you get it, the jews own the white house, your oil, and your cock

  • Mr Perot was clearly the least practiced as a high level politician. Perot had much more logic and substantive content, but much the poorer presentation. It was to me a kind of argument against this sort of debate: the more "spin" the better the debater.

  • @MILTON1466 jim lehr is a FAG

  • @Costoffplus Piss off! Jim Lehrer was, is, and always will be a legend!!!

  • @IHateLadyGaga1991 you got something against gay people?

  • Bill Clinton FTW

  • Ross Perot just capitalized on Bush's (almost believable) statement. But, that Bush senior sure is suave with his speech.

  • Clinton Dick was still growing in that Vedio!!!!!!!

  • Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That's an Albert Einstein quote!

  • Bill Clinton is just better then both Bushs!!! nuff said!!

  • @lillianclinton42

    As a republican, I fucken agree with you.

  • @royaladam I KNOW!!! RIGHT!!!!

  • @lillianclinton42 Riiiiiiight. (idiot)

  • @44t56 totally!!! :D

  • @lillianclinton42 i think better then all presidents in the past few decades! and im a republican lol

  • @lauderdalechad well, besides Kennedy, but ur right!

  • @lillianclinton42 Wrong. Clinton was an immoral lying son of a bitch!

  • @springjo1 ok, cuz we had a surplus, no war, and the country was in GREAT shape!! yeah sure!

  • fux clinton bush reagan carter ford nixon johnson kennedy einsenhower and oh yeah obama too truman's bitch ass both roosevelts however far back you want to go, they've all been sluts for the upper upper business class. even the few slightly not-rabidly capitalist things JFK did got him whacked by the gangsters in the national insecurity state. no president can do things to help real people if he wants to live

  • Wow it kinda feels like Clinton said a lot of the same things President Obama has said

  • @sxv32idf isn't that funny? it's like we're all suckered into thinking there's a difference between one corporate candidate & another.

  • Bill Clinton is a douchebag.

  • Comment removed

  • the part that is really ironic is how Clinton claimed that he is such a change from trickle down economics, tax cuts for the rich, and de-regulation...and yet this is exactly what he continued as president.

  • We enjoyed one of the best surpluses in American history under the Clinton, god he should get elected again. Clinton's responses were both eloquent and on target as you can feel that he really wants change and feels the American people. Ross Perot is not bad either as he makes good points. Bush sounds better in public but still lacks understanding...saying how Clinton trying to scare people, but running for presidency means addressing problems not sitting back BUSH!

  • @MiChiaL93 Actually, under Clinton he signed into law NAFTA, which expanded free trade and costed millions of Americans their manufacturing jobs. We also had one of the biggest tax increases in U.S. history as well. Clinton was nothing more than a liar and a weasel as well.

  • @willhunting1995 But also, the numbers don't lie. You can look at the hard data at find that in the previous administrations and the current ones. The federal deficit declined at a faster rate during his administration and kept that way. When we reached the bush administration, due to bush's tax cuts and funneling of money to the iraq war, those deficits rose again surpassing what Clinton had accomplished.

  • @MiChiaL93 But, the natioal DEBT actually INCREASED under Clinton's watch. Deficits are really a matter of accounting, nothing more, it's the National DEBT that actually effects the American people. All that happened under Clinton was that the federal government was taking in as much money as it was paying out, even though the early part of his administration contributed to the national debt as well. When Bush took office, he had a recession left by Clinton to deal with, as well as 9/11.

  • Ross Perot was an american Bush and Clinton are gloalist.

  • @louiethegreater Whats a gloalist?

  • @Imforeverone88 Someone who persues globalization, the new world order ect.

  • @Imforeverone88 I think he meant globalist.

  • Holy shit! Obama totally ripped off Clinton '92 campaign messaging! like a blatant ripped off! know wonder they were so pissed off at him. Hope and change! Wow! Bill Clinton FTW! NAFTA though.... that pretty much fucked everybody didn't.... too bad

  • The worst thing Clinton ever did to this country: That damn thumb thing 5:00, every politcian does that now. WTF is that?

  • My great prediction - Obama will be reelected in 2012, do pretty well his last four years, but will finish with some kind of sexual scandal. Then in 2016, some dumbass Republican will come back and fuck it up again.

  • @Deepsand101 Obama will definintely be a one-term president, he's already down to 41% in approval ratings, the economy has gotten worse, we are deeper than ever in Afganistan, and Americans are getting fed up with Obama's policies!

  • Screw the 8 year policy, Clinton should be reelected president!

  • @Deepsand101 he can run again. the amendment only says he can't be president for 2 CONSECUTIVE terms.

  • LOL Perot!!!! If he would have aligned himself with a certain party, he would have had a very good chance to win presidency sometime in his life

  • LOL

    Clinton: "It's time for change. Change to hope for a better tomorrow."

    Sounds like Obama. Where IS the change?

    Since Clinton took office he served the financial leaders. So did George W. and so does Obama. Always claiming to serve the people.

  • @gggfausto Well, Clinton's economic policies did serve better than Bush, and so far Obama's (but Obama is a completely different case with different issues). He's by far the best leader we've had in the past 40 years.

  • @Deepsand101 Clinton was one of the worst presidents in history who was impeached for lying under oath to a federal grand jury and for passing some of the biggest tax increases in history.
