...more people did well than any other eight year period post WWII. Read OMBRA 1993 and how that worked out. The Clintons- you're fooling yourself if you think Hillary didn't have a role- cut the deficit, pulled more people out of poverty, strengthened the currency which contrary to neo-con hacks is important (we are about to have a weak currency recession for folks to experience that isn't going to be pretty and hopefully wakes them up) and had no wars (Bush deciding to be a hard guy caused this one). I'll tell you what. I AM the swing voter, and I am going to have a hard time voting for Obama over McCain, for security reasons, economic reasons (Obama and his current advisors are too far left) and I'm simply not willing to trust somebody with no track record (frankly it blows my mind so many people are). So, even if Obama wins the nomination, he's got a snowballs chance of beating the Repubs. They don't have to worry about offending the Dem left as Hillary does, so they are free to fire away and with effect. They will. And, they'll hit enough target to win. I've said it once, I've said it twice, I'll say it again: The most likely way to have a sustained progressive agenda is for Hillary and Barack to run together, and hold the White House for sixteen years.
1990s were best economy ever...
