bill clinton

My guy threw in the towel while he still had a ghost to give. I can’t decide now who to officially hope for. I honestly think that Obama has eight great years as president some day and if the next eight years are his, he will do an enormous amount of good for this country. I do, however, think I would vote for Clinton based on her experience and her association with another great US president. I think she would be able to most quickly and efficiently change the course of this nation. Unfortunately, as my friend Rob Spectore pointed out to me, her negatives are so high that she could in fact lose an election that should be a given for my opposition party. With this regard, supporting Obama seems to make sense. I don’t matter, however, based on the buzz in the Little Apple and whatever other rumors come my way across the plains of Kansas. Everyone’s already talking about Obama.

I was flipping through the channels last night before going to sleep and I caught President Clinton giving an address at the Kennedy Center. He spoke about what he’d done in Africa since he’s left office while making jokes (quite tasteful and funny) about the current administration. I cried. I really did. I cannot understand how in the hell so many people despised this president. I realize that he wasn’t the most admirable person, but I hope that some day I’ll see another president as great as Clinton was.
