Enough Perspective from a Middle Aged Man?

Somebody dropped me a note asking why I sort of dissed Clinton in this one. It's because I don't think that enough time had passed, or has yet, for him to really put the presidency into perspective and see what wound up mattering and making a difference, what did not, and perhaps why. And, he's relatively young as well. It's got nothing to do with all the minutiae and rambling that are supposedly in there - I have not read it, so I do not know. For me it was that it seemed like a transitional PR piece. A later piece would of course comment on the unraveling of some of his work, and the seemingly sharp change in direction the country is taking. I'll read the next one, I'm sure there will be another one from him in about 10 or 15 yrs. THAT's the one I want to read. Wait, can you want to read something that does not exist? Oh geez, metaphysical crisis, time for bed.
