Clinton was sworn in on January 21, 1993.

Oh good lord.....what was I thinking? Now i just feel like editing away that whole post. Feeling very stupid, and my apologies to all. (regarding Sac's post about my stupidity. Not that he called me stupid - he was quite polite about it. But wow I feel stupid. Don't know where my brain was. Guess that goes to the point of the elder Bush not doing well with it either.)

Nice catch, Sac. :)

I gotta say more. Wow, I'm sorry. Beyond stupid. I wish I could blame some sort of anesthesia was clouding my brain, but I don't think you'd buy that it was still in my system for 5 months.

ISM, really sorry to you.

Now, imagine how many other things about the Clinton/Bush administrations you might have wrong. You're gonna be on the left in no time!

hehe :)

Yeah, this is probably going to stick with me for a while, huh?

I'm sure if you hired one of the repub spin doctors, they could figure out a way to spin it so it was clintons fault.
