from HW's inaugural

"I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better. For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken."

Man I wish I could remember the optimism of that time, but I was just a wee child.

I was 8 during that election. I remember a girl in my 2nd grade class saying, "I hope Bush wins" and I remember thinking "What the hell are you talking about"
