The election of '92 will remain one of the great mysteries of the 20th century. Bush 41 tanked. He gave up. He ran a sloppy, lackluster campaign. He refused to use specific ammunition he had about Bill Clinton. After all, Mia, the guy had been head of the CIA! Clinton left bloody fingerprints all over Arkansas, and Bush 41 didn't even challenge him on crime.

Note Bush 41's allusion, during the presidential debate, to clinton corruption. Note also that Bush understood well the clinton threat to the security of our nation. But that wasn't enough, apparently, for Bush to end clinton's career once and for all. And we all know the sorry result of that failure.

- THE CLINTONS--AMERICA'S BIGGEST BLUNDER
Hear Bush 41 Warn Us--October 19, 1992*
*Thanx to Cloud William for text and audioLEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir.
PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ...
On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision?
And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word.
And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America.
(Applause)
