Clinton Cites Economic Successes, Policy Failures in '60 Minutes' Interview.
Byline: Farah Stockman
Jun. 21--WASHINGTON -- Although his presidency may be indelibly marked by his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, former president Bill Clinton said his biggest failure as president dealt with policies not achieved.
"I'm sorry on the home front that we didn't get health care and that we didn't reform Social Security," Clinton told CBS's "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired last night. "And international affairs I'm -- I regret that I didn't succeed in getting Osama bin Laden. And, equally I'm sorry that I wasn't able enough to convince the Israelis and the Palestinians to make peace."
Clinton said his economic plan was his greatest accomplishment.
"I kept score, how many people's lives were better off," he told Dan Rather. "I think the fact that we were able to have 22 million jobs and record home ownership and lower interest rates -- people actually had the ability to do more things than ever before."
