Bill Clinton war kein Symbol. Die Menschen investierten nicht in ihn, was Amerika sein sollte oder, was noch schlimmer war, der Stolz auf das, von dem sie glaubten, dass Amerika geworden war. Es gab keinen großen moralischen Selbstwunsch, einen Präsidenten aus Arkansas gewählt zu haben.

The language of America changed with the election of Bill Clinton, because with all due respect to my friends on the Republican side, Bill Clinton is the best communicator of the last 50 years. He felt your pain.
