In
1996 Bill Clinton was on the ropes. Aside from imposing,
retroactively, the largest tax increase in American history, his
administration had nothing to show for itself. His plan to grab
control of the nations Health Care was shot down in flames.
Hillary became the first (and still only) First Lady to be
subpoenaed before a grand jury, and new scandal seemingly arrived daily
with the morning dew.
Bill Clinton reached into his hip pocket
and summoned Dick Morris, the man who had engineered his resurgence as
Arkansas Governor, to get him reelected.

Morris
advised
Clinton to sign the GOP's Welfare Reform Act, that he had twice vetoed, and blanket
smaller television markets, away from the scrutiny of the national
media, with political ads. He, did both,
- He signed the Welfare Reform Act (and immediately campaigned on undoing it if reelected ).
- Paid
for the unprecedented media
blitz with illegal campaign funds; rented the Lincoln bedroom;
laundered Teamster money, sold missile guidance technology, and took
loads
of Chinese commie cash.
- The Oklahoma City Bombing was a bonus
opportunity to display a take-charge persona, and go on a gun banning
spree.
Summary - Clinton was a wily crook who somehow avoided imprisonment, if not Impeachment.

Thank you judge, that dog's been a pain in my ass, but the wife thought she could turn him..
It
was not a referendum on Barack Obama, who in every poll remains one of
the most popular politicians in America. It was not a rejection of
universal health care, which Massachusetts mandated (with Scott Brown’s
State Senate vote) in 2006. It was not a harbinger of a resurgent
G.O.P., whose numbers remain in the toilet. Brown had the good sense
not to identify himself as a Republican in either his campaign
advertising or his victory speech. (
