Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton Forever!

Talk to angry voters these days and they all say the same thing: "We need a change." A change to what?

Ken Layne's OutrageSure, the economy isn't doing so great in the United States today. We are having some trouble with the wars. The dollar isn't worth so much. Our kids are pretty dumb when it comes to math, science and reading. Maybe a few million U.S. middle-class families are losing their homes to foreclosure. And sure, working-class wages have been stagnant for seven years.

But what are we supposed to do, go communist or something?

The medicine for our current malaise, according to leading international investment bankers and defense-industry CEOs, is to "stay the course."

Stability is the most important thing in maintaining the status quo, experts say, and that's why all the best and brightest minds encourage American voters to continue nearly three decades of Bush-Clinton rule in the White House by putting a Clinton back in power next year, and then probably putting another Bush in power in 2016, and then another Clinton in 2024.



Since the election of 1980, intelligent voters have understood the importance of having a Bush or Clinton in the White House. It just makes sense for America.

It was way back in January of 1981 that George "Herbert Walker" Bush became vice president. He didn't seem like much then, but "Bush 41" wound up spending 12 years in the White House and even became the official president in 1988.

Next up was Bush's "opponent," Bill Clinton. A lot of people weren't happy with Bush or Clinton, which is why they wasted their votes on Ross Perot and gave Clinton eight years in the White House, until Bill gave the keys back to the Bush Family in January 2001.

Can you really imagine America without a Bush or Clinton being president? People under 30 years old can't even remember when "President" didn't end in "Bush" or "Clinton."

So let's maintain our traditional political values and keep hope alive, by electing whichever candidate currently has "Bush" or "Clinton" for a last name. This is what the Constitution is all about.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
