We have more prisoners than China? Good God.

I've been saying all along that Obama is very Clintonesque (a la Bill); he's a fence-mender who will try to put a compassionate face on this mess by offering a patchwork of policies intended to alleviate some of the suffering, while not affronting the Right, or the Gen-X'ers, who, though more progressive are nonetheless not too keen on taking care of the Boomers. Hillary, on the other hand is more about UNDOING the policies of the Bushco administration, and I believe would be more proactive re: major health care changes, child care, etc.

I think Bill Clinton was a fantastic president, and was perfect for 1992, at what might be considered the height of the conservative revolution. As Bushco has shown, things could have been a lot worse had Clinton not been there. I would not support Bill right now, however.
