Sorry. Democrats are going to have to work a bit harder for it this year.
Maybe you don't remember Bush's father, who finally decided to change course and raise taxes. Did the Democrats applaud his willingness to change course, to "grow" in office, and do something about the fiscal situation?
Or did they shred him for doing what they had been telling him to do for months? What was the big issue at the polls?
The Democrats, and you, are looking for one thing only: something to use to rip Bush a new one. Clinton isn't running for anything, and Clarke's mea culpa costs him exactly zip. In fact, he probably sold ten thousand books while making that statement on national television.
