[edit] Judicial appointments

I had suggested adding these on the Bill Clinton article (suggestion on the talk page) but someone recommended that I add the lists on this article. So I started listing the Circuit and District Justices appointed by Clinton. I think I got all or most of the Circuit appointments. I hope others can find more District ones! --Ashley Rovira 01:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of Criticism relating to Economics

Somebody should have a look at the Economy Section of this article. It lacks a lot of needed criticism relating to Clinton's foreign policy and its long term effect on the nation's economy. 155.212.247.186 13:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Overall the article's criticism section should be expanded- thank you Astuishin (talk) 04:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] That picture caption is wrong!

Can't be the Cabinet around 1993, because Madeleine Albright is there....she was appointed several years later. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.119.98.246 (talk) 08:04, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

It thought the same thing at first, but in My Life he shows the same picture and in the caption it says United States Secretary of State Warren Christopher is there. Madeleine Albright is there in her capacity as United States Ambassador to the United Nations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K157 (talk • contribs) 19:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

With regards to Ashley Rovira's comment above, shouldn't the US Attorney's that Clinton appointed also be added to this article? I realize the discussion page isn't intended to be a POV forum, but I must say, this article is indeed posted from a particuler POV. Someone is obviously "protecting" this entry based solely on their political agenda. --AZ Gila Monster 07:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unfounded and not cited

The statement "Clinton's presidency included the longest period of economic growth in America's history, credited to budget reforms." makes no sense and has no citation. This sounds more like an editorial than an encyclopedia. It is true that the economy absolutely boomed under Clinton and budget reforms played a role in this. However. to solely credit budget reforms for the growth is kind of ridiculous and shows the author's lack of knowledge of the relationship between fiscal policy and economic activity--apparently the federal budget determines the US economy. This either needs citation and further explanation or amendment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.226.137 (talk) 17:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
