What image? The guy has been a joke consistently for 40 years.
The last president to balance the budget, stepped down at the first sign of controversy.

And the Tax Increases under Clinton as a continuation of the 1993 tax increases.
If the economy booms and we cut taxes, like conservatives did before the 2008 financial crisis, then the deficit will still increase.
Are you thinking Bill Clinton stepped down? Or are you saying Richard Nixon was the last president to balance the budget?
Bill Clinton stepped down.
There has never been a successful vote to remove a sitting president.
Clinton didn’t step down, he served until the end of his term.
Oh dang he did. Misremembered.
Hey we got our first case of the mandela effect on Lemmy. Welcome to our timeline!
Did you think W. was his VP or did you think Al Gore was president for a moment?
Does it matter? We writing out fanfics together?
Just interested. If you’re not up for sharing, that’s fine. Have a good day.
What the absolute fuck
Idk how many years ago you think 2001 was but the Republicans impeached him over a blowjob was pretty much the most memorable event at the time.
Which is exactly why it's weird as fuck to misremember it so insanely wrongly. Do you also think OJ escaped and is still on the lamb?
If you were to poll people on what happened to OJ then you would probably get quite a few results like that.
So, yes, then.
You display the cognitive reasoning ability of a child.
Yeah on paper he was really solid, but even when he was relevant the animaniacs had a reacurring bit about him playing the sax. There were more jokes about him being first lady than there was coverage of Hillary's platform when she ran for president. He's only reappearing because again, people ate joking about him being the bubba trump felated. He's only still culturally relevant as a joke.
He's only solid on paper if you don't read that paper. In reality he was basically Reagan 2.0.
Hard disagree, Clinton raised taxes while Reagan gutted them with a rusted jagged blade.
