Years in Office: 1993 to 2001

As a 16-year-old member of Boy's Nation, Clinton stood in the Rose Garden of the White House and shook hands with John Kennedy- an instant of symbolic torch passing that had a powerful effect upon a boy from Hope, Arkansas.

Clinton likes to invoke a parallel. Kennedy and Clinton do not look alike, though they share an air of youth and vigor and good health.

Mr. Bill Clinton won the presidential election in November 1992, over the incumbent President, George Bush, who managed Desert Storm steadfastly and precisely. The American people responded to Clinton's gamble by taking an enormous risk of their own. Clinton's best luck was that the economy kept dragging along the bottom or the duration of the campaign.

First, we have to roll up our sleeves, Bill Clinton explains how he will make the hard choices that lie ahead of him. With his wife Hilary, he describes a political partnership without precedent in U.S. history. The American people are eager to see many new and creative changes in the future with Clintons in the White House.
