Me, too! I didn't really care much for him when he was in office, but I had no idea how messed up things were going to get, and it's really only just begun.

I miss him too. I remember going to see him speak on Halloween night 96 in Oakland just before the 96 election. I was given very close access to the stage got to shake his hand and even have a few words with him, as he gave me a lapel pin. They knew nothing of my background, weather i supported him or not.

During the Speech "Act Up" decided to climb the Speaker scafolding to let out a banner with some Anti-Aids Message. Not losing a beat Clinton turned toward them , telling them to be careful, not wanting to see security or them to cause anyone to get hurt. He left his speech to address them, and then went back to his topic brilliantly. He stood quietly when another guy started screaming about how he murdered Vince Foster. He told him to say "Hi' to Rush Limbaugh for him. Everyone laughed. He had a way of putting people at ease when he spoke.

I also was able to hear GW Bush in 2004 speak. He was strictly surrounded by supporters, in the front, in a seperate section, the general public was kept way back. ANYONE with any sort of Anti-Bush sign, shirt, or message that might get close was escorted out.

I have never seen a more uncomforable man in my life when Bush spoke it was painfully rehersed and stiff. He had some banter with well placed supporters, to the cheers and applause of the rest of the people in the front. ANYONE shouting anything from the back was INSTANTLY grabbed by security, and escorted out, some by force.

I know some is Security tightened from 9/11, but overall it wasnt. He only wanted to preach to the Chior.

I was AMAZED at how much things had changed in just 8 years.
