Interesting.

Oh, I can relate. It’s nowhere on the level of Carter/East Timor, but I voted for Clinton really believing he could live up to promises like ending discrimination against gays in the military, specifically. And we know how that ended up — didn’t happen until a couple months ago.

Like O, Clinton only has so much power, anyway. It’s why we’re supposed to have checks and balances and such. Good luck reminding the anybody-but-bush/primary-obamas whose collective historical memory seems on the same level as a gnat.

I suppose things like this are why I have ZERO patience for the primary obamas claiming he doesn’t deserve a second term!!!@1, when they have no names capable of putting up a winning challenge.

Heh, scratch that…they have NO NAMES AT ALL.

I thought Clinton was sent from heaven. I went into the local campaign office and shook hands with the manager there and gave him a $50 check. I was so happy to see Reagan gone and this new dynamic and seemingly progressive candidate. Then we go Tipper Gore. Al Gore and his stalling and terribly leadership on the Kyoto Treaty. I didn’t pay much attention to DADT but when he signed off on DOMA. That was a huge letdown. And then there was Monica Lewinsky and the great impeachment detraction. The heckling from the pro-lifers. WACO and Ruby Ridge are there but not so much. Second term came around and I decided to stay home. I didn’t care anymore. Clinton wore me out.
