I think that what Democrats of my cohort (30s and 40s) really want from Obama is a do-over of Clinton’s first term. Only this time with no bimbos, travel office “scandal”, trooper tales, or land deals. No health insurance road shows starring Ira Magaziner. No government shut downs. No Vince Foster conspiracy theories. No Gennifer. No Paula. No cigar. No blue dress. No Monica.

Definitely no Monica.

People used to quip that Clinton was the first black President. Well, maybe it works both ways. Maybe we want the first black President to be Clinton.
