"The year before Bill Clinton put together a farewell video, in which the former president pretended to be at loose ends in the final lame-duck months of his presidency. "

LOL! CNN can't help looking back to better years... in their opinion.
I'm surprised they even mentioned President Bush.

BTW: that joke on Hillary sneaking in the back of the WH in a burqua was my favorite!
An excellent job was done by the president, and Drew ("so it's taking them a long time to get Osama... heck, it took them a year to get Robert Blake- and he was right here all along!"

Sunday morning [yesterday, NZ time] I heard one Prof. Fred Greenstein being interviewed on Radio New Zealand. The interview related to his book "The Presidential difference", in which he outlines the different styles, strong points and Archilles heels of America's recent Presidents - recent being from Nixon onward, as far as I could tell. Having said that, Roosevelt and Truman were mentioned too.

Has anyone read this book? I'm inclined to pick it up but it could be smart to ask first if anyone here has any opinions before I shell out some hard earned tax paid dollars?
