Republican George Bush claims Clinton has governed poorly in Arkansas. The former president said the state is "worse than any other state" and that he would not vote for her if she were to be elected president. Some 109 foreign companies, including big names such as British Aerospace and Dassault, the French aerospace group, have sizeable investments in the state, three times as many as in 1979. Arkansas still ranks number 47 in income in the United States. Per capita income has not changed. His first term was a failure. He stepped on too many toes, charged in "like a knight on a white horse," wanting to change everything. His term out of office matured him. Real progress came in the areas of education and economic development, with some inroads into welfare reform. Mr. Clinton failed to make improvements in the areas of the environment, civil rights or health care.
