Known as the “Come Back Kid,” Clinton first broke the mold by being the first president to appoint a woman to the position of Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. Richard Mansbach, professor of political science, said Clinton also took the U.S. economy to new heights on an international level.”He will be remembered as advocating free and open trade and globalization,” Mansbach said. “Whether it be for developing the Internet or for goods moving freely from one end of the earth to the other.”Mansbach said Clinton has pushed the economy to the front burner. He said Iowa, more than any other state, will benefit directly from globalization.”Iowa can’t live without trade to move Iowa’s products freely across frontiers,” Mansbach said. “I can’t think of very many Iowans who will lose due to Clinton’s policies.”Clinton also sparked debate over how much information the American public has the right to know about a president’s private life when he became the second president in history to be impeached.”He made a mistake that was none of our business,” said Sen. Johnie Hammond, D-Ames. “It was personal and private, but I am afraid he will always be remembered for that. That should not be what he is remembered for — he has charisma, and he is a friendly, outgoing, warm person.”Mansbach said it is unfortunate the impeachment will take center stage in memories of the Clinton era.”He brought a type of politics to the White House that hasn’t been seen before and will not be seen for a while,” Mansbach said. “He could fit in just about anywhere.”Not everyone will mourn Clinton’s exodus from the White House, however.”I am not going to miss President Clinton at all,” said Iowa House Majority Leader Rep. Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City. “He has made politics out of the Treasury Department and put Iowa at a huge disadvantage.”Rants said he thinks Iowa was at the bottom of Clinton’s priority list.But Jim Kurtenbach, chairman of the Story County Republicans, said Clinton has paid attention to Iowa, such as when he helped reorganize the Federal Emergency Management Agency, enabling it to respond to community needs more quickly. Although the reorganization happened after the great floods of 1993, Clinton has helped Iowans in their time of need, he said.However, Rants said Clinton’s personal-life decisions were not made based on morals.”He is a charismatic speaker, probably one of those guys that you could go out and have a beer with, but he wasn’t a good role model for young people,” Rants said. “He was the type of guy who wanted to make everything into a partisan issue.”Mansbach said historians will begin their work Saturday writing about Clinton. Until that history is written, Mansbach said, no one will truly know how Clinton will be remembered.”I believe his relationships with leaders around the world and his dedication to peace-keeping efforts could be of continued benefit,” said Rep. Jane Greimann, D-Ames. “Our former presidents continue to be good ambassadors, and I am confident that President Clinton will continue that tradition.”
