Bill Clinton: Foreign Service
built 139 days ago
Clinton and his administration Clinton's opponents raised various "character" issues during the campaign, including his avoidance of military service during the Vietnam War, and his glib response to a question about past marijuana use. Allegations of womanizing and shady business deals ... were raised. While none of these alleged flaws led to Clinton's defeat, they did fuel unusually vehement opposition to Clinton among many conservatives from the very beginning of his presidency.

Clinton's opponents, meanwhile, chided him for his past use of marijuana, to which he replied, "I smoked but didn't inhale." Other issues Clinton had to deal with included his avoidance of military service, rumors of womanizing, and allegedly shady business deals. Those issues weren't enough to sway many voters, but did inflame the conservatives in Congress, and set the tone for future battles over legislation.

After his presidency, Clinton identified his proudest foreign policy accomplishments as mediating peace talks between Israel and Palestine, resulting in the Oslo Accords. Subsequent events, including the collapse of the 2000 Camp David Summit and the commencement of the al-Aqsa Intifada, resulted in the Oslo Accords being widely discredited within Israel and in various Palestinian factions by 2004.

Clinton ended the gag rule that restricted abortion counseling in federally funded clinics. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala suspended the 1988 Reagan regulations on Title X. In revoking this regulation, Clinton directed that 4,000 federally funded family planning clinics counsel all pregnant women and minors regarding abortion as a "pregnancy management option," that is, as a method of birth control.
