I'd say Clinton's adventuristic foreign policy prepared the way for the 
massive but hopelessly ill-defined overseas "war" we're in now.  And his 
economic growth was built on sand, no more than a binge of speculation and 
over-investment.  Having had their "small bite of the cherry," lower-income 
workers can now look forward to quite a different bite -- unemployment and 
the impact of Clinton's welfare "reform."
