Lessons of 1992

This article compares the upcoming presidential election to the one of 1992. In both of the elections a Bush was in the White House and a Clinton was up for the running. The article is obviously written by a Democrat who is a supporter of the Clinton family. Throughout the article the author defends everything that went wrong in Bill Clinton’s presidency. It goes on to say that Obahma should not be voted for out of fear that Hillary's presidency will resemble Bill Clinton’s. Although the author was very one sided throughout the article I found the article very informative in explaining why the policy proposals candidates run on matter in an election. Altogether I thought the article was well researched and well written; however, I did not agree with the authors view points throughout the article.
