Clinton would never have been reelected without the OKC bombing.
I don't know if that be necessarily true hang 'em. Years ago I had a young chinese fellow come to me for employ. He had come to america on a visa/work permit for a company he worked for in china. He was here to promote his company and to gain contracts for his company in china. Well he decided slip away, stay here, and melt into our society. He was very bright and well educated and most affluent in english. He had a wife and child in china. Yet inspite of his obvious brilliance and education he was applying to me for the lowest most menial laborous tasked position in my org. Yep, you got it, janitor. Oh well, I hired him. And he stayed with me for over two years. The best damn janitor I ever had. He went on to get his papers straightened out to become a citizen and was finally able to get his wife and son here...went on to school to get his MBA as he worked as a janitor ...went on to land a job with a major computer firm making the big bucks. My point?
One day I found myself having a serious political discussion with my chinese janitor. Afterall, he was interesting to try to figure out. So this particular day I was telling him how we elect our presidents and how the electoral college works. He looked me straight in the eye and said, "you just believe that you elect your presidents." (Now this was pre Clinton era.) Anyway, I found myself unable to convince him otherwise...he held his ground. Today, especially since 8 years of Clinton, I can't help but wonder if he wasn't right.
