WAAAAY OFF!

Man was I wrong! I underestimated the power of the "Obama movement." However, I'm not so sure why many Dems are against the Clintons. I seem to remember a very prosperous and fairly peaceful eight years during Bill's years as president. Wait, did I say peaceful? That's right! There was the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, the bombing of the USS Cole, the Tanzanian and Kenyan bombings, the Waco, Texas incident, the gun in the face of a young Elian Gonzalez deportation, a tempestuous Republican Congress hell bent on destroying the Executive branch, the Kosovo invasion and the capture and eventual hanging of Milosevich.

With that said, we still had an economic run like no other and most Americans were happy! Despite these incidents, I traveled the world in the 90's and felt safe everywhere I went. Despite these incidents, I never feared nuclear war like I do today. Despite these incidents, I attained a Bachelors Degree and worked under Clinton's brilliant America Reads program. The 1990's were prosperous times for America. There was a responsible housing boom that didn't crash, minimum wage went up twice, and thousands of Americans went back to work after years of unemployment during the Reagan and Bush years. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'd like to experience that again and not gamble it on an idealistic neophyte like Obama.
