The younger generations don't realize how bad things got after 9/11 - obviously that event wasn't the single cause but it feels like it marked a very definitive line for which I remember life being much better before and things turned very dark in the years after, never to return again. I genuinely believe we were happier, healthier and were more prosperous before cell phones, instant communication at all times, the massive amount of regulations and monitoring and inflation -at the end of the 90's it was easy to get a $6 - $7 an hour job at Burger King or something and you could still afford to fill your gas tank half full with a $5 bill and you could get a week's worth of food at the grocery store for $15....essentially $20 a week was the only thing really REQUIRED to make it to work and back and get through the day. Today, many people are working for $9 an hour but a tank of gas is $50 and you MIGHT be able to eat for 2 days on $10 worth of groceries and then you've got the stress of being plugged in and essentially "on" all the time with cell phones and social media. .....I think back to the 90s and the thing I absolutely miss the most was the ability to get in your car and just disappear for an afternoon and NOBODY would be upset at you.....there weren't any cell phones - at least not for normal people - so it's not like you were expected to constantly be looking at it. If you stopped in the park and just sat for 2 hours it would be no big deal. It's gotten so bad......sometimes I feel like a frog being boiled alive in 21st century western culture.
@@davidkeetz I have made a similar point so I know exactly how you feel. It feels like there was a fleeting moment, where we were just in a solid spot. Not everyone of course. But from the mid 90s until those planes hit those towers, there was a real sense of country, unity. We had a budget surplus by the end of Clinton’s years. We had dealt with some bs over in Kosovo, and we were in a good spot. The nation was not perfect, but we were close. I would love for our young people to be able to experience the 1990s. What a time to be alive!
For those who weren’t around at the time, Clinton had an Obama-like effect in that election. The “younger”, articulate new guy who inspired millions of people with his soaring oratory and message of hope and change.
Clinton was a moderate pro business President. Obama is an America hating one world order lost opportunity to get blacks in line elegant liar. Clinton was nothing like Obummer & that woke progressive liberal Democrat party. Clinton also had the benefit of everything Reagan put into effect a decade earlier
So many people seem to forget/not remember this. I was 8 going on 9 and I still remember the hope and still remember how many of us identified with Chelsea and hoped for a future female president.
Clinton is nothing like Obama. The democrat party of the 90s isn't the America hating progressive liberal lunatic party of today. Clinton was a pro business moderate. Obummer was an America hating elegant liar. Totally missed opportunity to help his own race
The difference was that Obama was a horrible 8 years President🤢🤮👎🏻 while Bill Clinton had the last great booming decade in America history the 90's .👍🏻😲
My first vote for president was for Bill Clinton in 1996. Out of all the presidents in the last 30 years (Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden), Bill Clinton is currently the best president in my lifetime.
that was the last time that life in American society was generally good........man we had no idea what kind of nightmare world was waiting right around the corner for us.
@@LaPizza8685Georgia went blue in 2020. Before 1964, every southern state was HEAVILY democratic. For example, in 1936, FDR won South Carolina with 98% support. He also won Mississippi with 97%. It all flipped when the Democratic Party started supporting civil rights.
Very interesting how optimistic he was. The end of the cold war. Seems like we are back in a warm war. Seems like a simpler, more friendly time. Politicians being cooperative and accepting the results of the election. Hinesight is 20/20, but i wish we could go back to this.
Not gonna lie. I didn’t vote for Bill Clinton in ‘92, nor ‘96. (Yes, I was a diehard Republican who voted for Bush and Dole.) But as time went on, scandals aside, Clinton actually had more of our interests at heart than any president before or since (save for maybe Reagan). I actually appreciated President Clinton’s approach to leadership. Even willing to reach out to Republicans to achieve a greater good. You rarely see that anymore in politics.
@@Manatti06he won some states that are typically Republican because Ross Perot ran as a third party and siphoned off a considerable amount of votes from Bush.
@@amolkhobaragade Obama ended his terms with the highest debts of all times, Clinton with the lowest of all times. And yes I admit that the 90's were years of great economic growth
I know that people hate Bill Clinton for a lot of understandable reasons. But he was actually one of the best presidents of all time, and you have to be able to reconcile that with his personal issues.
I was 31 years younger then and I was in awe of Bill Clinton. I thought he communicated so well. When I listen and watch now, I am not that impressed. In fact it seemed that he sounded and came across as so boring. Time and experience does change perceptions.
Fair enough, but I think most would agree that Clinton's strength was as a master retail politician more than as a public speaker. The joke was that his speech st the '88 DNC was a flop.
Its honestly kinda weird seeing states like Louisiana, Tennessee and West Virginia (states that are normally red) blue. This shows how our country changes politically, but its kinda weird seeing it
Keep in mind, Clinton was a southern Democrat governor from Arkansas, and his VP, Al Gore, was Democrat Senator from Tennessee, which helped a lot. Moderate Dems were very popular in Southern state during this time. Similar to how Republicans were very popular in states like California and New York during the 70s and 80s.
I'm a centrist, registered GOP but always consider myself a Blue Dog Democrat at heart. A shame they rarely exist anymore. My own beloved grandmother was a delegate for JFK in 1960. I was 7 at the time. My parents each supported a different candidate- my mother Clinton and my father Bush. It was the first election I was cognizant of in my life and as a young boy I took an immediate interest into politics. My grandmother had bought for me a children's book, "The Buck Stops Here," which was an illustrated history of the various presidents which I read frequently. I'll always remember my parents sitting me down and explaining to me that while we may have political differences, we will always still love each other and that we as Americans settle our differences at the ballot box. My parents are still together and will be celebrating 50 years of marriage next year. Clinton I'll say is the last truly great president we had despite his impeachment and the mess that followed that. This is the America I miss. Where we have an election and the next day we wake up and carry on. We believe and support and trust in our leader. Political polarization is the absolute worst thing I've seen in my lifetime. At 39 I fear it will only get worse.
Nice upload. There will never be an era like that again. An era that continued a time that was our best. No crap like we have today. 1990s.. Good internet, good taco bell, Nirvana/Soundgarden... Stuff was easier to FIX if it broke..... And no social media, good TV shows!

Looks completely different. I've only seen her in her elder days- After 2016 when she ran for president. So it's a bit strange to see her in 1992, age 45
The last great Democratic president. Charismatic, pragmatic, humorous, forceful. Controversial? Sure! But, no amount of character flaws can outweigh policy consequences. There will never be another like him.
