Why don't we just look at some of the fine things Bill and Hillary did in the 90's:

NAFTA!
Ended welfare!
Fought unions
Severe sanctions on Iraq killing at least 500,000 Iraqi children
Ended Glass-Steagall Act leading to wild speculation by largest banks, world economic meltdown of 2008, and loss of middle-class
Full support of WTO
Supported mega-consolidation of media, leading to corporate control of news
Gave us the Dot.com bomb and Y2K crash (irrational exuberance)
Green cards visas for IT foreigners decimated Americans trying to work in IT industry
Gave a get out of jail card to Bill Gates and his predatory, monopolistic Microsoft
Delayed clean air act, allowing power plants to delay scrubbing their stacks
Refused to force labeling of GMO and approved GMO crops
Pulled US and UN inspectors out of Iraq who were not finding any signs of supposed WMDs, thus allowing the myth that they had WMD programs to continue.

As for Hillary;

She was most notable Democrat to jump on the Bush/Cheney Iraq war wagon (that had nothing to do with 911), without taking the time to read the NIE.
She voted to give retro-active immunity to the telecoms for wire-tapping all Americans.
As Sec of State she allowed TransCanada to write the environmental impact study on XL Keystone Pipeline.
