Clinton instituted Don't Ask, Don't Tell, oversaw the repeal of Glass-Steagal, and failed to completely make any progress on Health Care. He was, also, impeached by his Republican opponents.

And that was all with a Republican opposition that was not nearly so obstructionist, experienced, insane or entrenched as the one Obama faces today. In Clinton's day, Fox News had not yet become the bastion of right wing propaganda that it is today, there were some campaign finance laws in place, Republicans had not yet perfected their use of the filibuster to completely shutdown the government and there was no Tea Party.
