A memory from the early 90s

I remember talking to my dad not too long after Mr. President Clinton was elected. He said of Hillary, "She's sharp as a tack. She's smarter than he is. She should be President."

Dad didn't live to see the day, but he was a prescient guy.

He was an excellent orator too. I've never seen a better one. Let's just say they are both smart.

We are lucky that they both chose lives of public service.

Your dad sounds like he was a pretty smart guy himself!

A lot of Democrats wish it would have been so.

Al Gore, for instance. (this is not Bill Clinton group, right?)
