Many Americans (well based on posts from AH and Internet articles) say that Bill Clinton's tenure could have been much different, much more "transformative", many would say.

I have seen suggestions from various threads on AH.com that could have made Bill's eight years better from an American perspective:

1. Many say that had Clinton focused in welfare reform in his first 100 days, he would have succeeded and the 1994 Republican Revolution would be averted.

2. Some even add the scenario where the 1994 Korean Crisis ends in a war without Jimmy Carter intervening. As a result, North Korea falls by the end of 1994 (I can say before the November midterms).

As a result of the win they say, Clinton's popularity skyrockets with the "Rally behind the President" + "Victory Fervor" mood.

Democrats gain seats instead of losing both houses of Congress.

3. Healthcare reform after 1994?

4. No Monica and Whitewater?

5. Good handling of Former Yugoslavia, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti and other foreign policy hotspots?

6. A NAFTA that is more favorable to American workers? How is that possible?

7. How about social issues? Progressives say he might have removed the ban on gays in the military. How about the DOMA as well?

Dunno about more ideas.

So what do you guys think about the various ideas from people stated above?
