Lessons of 1992
New York Times, January 28, 2008, pg. A25
by. Paul Krugman
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 the 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.

It seems that the author was very biased and probably should have presented the information a little better. He just promoted one side not even from facts, only from what he thought was right. In order to persuade people to a certain opinion, the author should put more facts on why.
I can't believe people are still trying to defend Bill. That's kind of ridiculous. But, I like the point that he proved about Hilary's presidency not being the same as Bill's. I think a lot of people don't look at them as separate people .
I also agree that there should be more facts. It is interesting to see if people who don't like Hilary were in favor of Bill. It is an interesting topic, however, the author's bias does not put this article in a situation to be trusted.
