    Do you dispute the facts I've alleged, Bock?

    Truman ran and was elected in '48 and decided no to run in '52 as he had already had 8 years in the White House.
    Kennedy got his head blown off.
    Johnson was elected in '64 and got us suckered into Vietnam and knew there was zero chance of being re-elected, so he declined to run.
    Carter wrecked the economy.

    Other than Carter, Clinton was the first Democrat president since FDR to even run for re-election.

    ^ Don't confuse him with facts. You'll throw off his spin rate.

    True, but so is the original statement. By the way, I'm going to post the link to the full article later.

    Indeed. I seem to recall, in fact, a thread started by Enterpriser called (get this) "A Return to the Reagan Era: You Know You Want It"

    Do you think it's compartmentalization in an insane mind, or just a troll?

    Me, I'd go with troll. I imagine the original can be found at archive.org.

    Is it a coincidence that troll and trinity start with "tr"?

    Since you've not answered a direct question, do you acknowledge that the facts in the article are correct and, further, that your statement that Clinton left Bush a lead-in to a recession is in error?

    Truth and significance are very different things.
