What is considered "progressive" in politics is always from the person's point of view, so I will not debate it here. For example, I do not consider "gay marriage" progressive. Full equality of gays before the law -- definitely. But the concept of "marriage" should be sent back to the churches (where they belong) and those should enforce their own rules. And no law-based advantages for married couples, either.
However, the conclusions reached by the participants in the forum on Bill Clinton's legacy hosted by the Brookings Institution pretty much summarize how I view Bill Clinton's presidency. You fill find them here:

This couple brought the Democrats back from the grave. And they have been spit on in return. I guess the new by-word for Democrat politics is "Chicago-style". I will not support it.
