I really think that if you take any president and analyze their entire run as president you will find things wrong that they did. Then there's the personality aspect, people think Bush is dumb b/c he's a bad public speaker. People think Clinton was good b/c he had Charisma. If you took away their personalities and just focused on what happened while they were president, you will probably find (as someone already mentioned) that both made many mistakes.
No one's job gets analyzed as much as the president. Anything that goes wrong "blame it on the president". People unemployeed? Well we could blame it on all the companies going overseas for cheap labor, or we could just blame it all on the president. The environment going down the tubes? We could blame it on all those ppl who MUST have the biggest and baddest SUV, or we could blame it all on the president.
So in answer to your question, I wouldn't vote for either again, but not because I think either was a bad president. Instead I always believe new blood brings new ideas and new possibilities.

No, I wouldn't want either of them to be president again. Neither of them have done anything to improve our country and government spending has continued to increase while the quality of education has declined. I think Bush handled 9-11 very well, but since then he's been a pretty weak leader. Clinton spent more of his time fighting legal battles than he did running the country.
Term limits are important because they allow new blood a chance to fix problems with this country. The needs of this country change which is why we often flip flop from republican to democrat and back to republican in the presidency. It promotes a good balance.

The truth is that we are going to vote for Clinton soon any way, and well I know you meant Bill and not Hilary, but you know that she ran the white house when he was in office and will do it again but she is the lesser of the two evils. Because Bush is the worlds absolute worse letter

I am not sure I agree that Hilary ran the White House, but you have some interesting thoughts here!
