Perspective from Clinton of all people
From http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/04/national/04clinton.html
two quotes from Clinton’s speech to booksellers yesterday, which I found illuminating (note: I am not a fan of Clinton and the DLC):
1.
‘If the Chicago speech was any indication, Americans are in for another round of Mr. Clinton's storytelling, homespun philosophy and political insights. But Bush-bashers may be disappointed.
Mr. Clinton was remarkably conciliatory toward the Bush administration, portraying it as trying to find a new political paradigm in a swiftly changing world and gently chiding those who are horrified by the nation's course.
"You shouldn't worry about this," he said. "What's going on has happened before in America, and it should be no particular cause for concern to you."’
2.
“If you look back on the 60's and think there was more good than harm, you're probably a Democrat," he suggested. "If you think there was more harm than good, you're probably a Republican."
