Is this Obama fever similar to the Clinton campaing in 92?

Things were so bad in 1991 that the strip malls near me had parking lots full of families living out of their cars. What we see now does not compare to the 1991 recession.

Obama and Clinton are also cut from completely different cloths. Clinton had a plan that he enacted and it turned life in this nation around. Obama has a website full of "plan" that lack substance and that do not consider the repercussions of such "plans".

Fever? Clintons fever had substance. Obamas fever is based off of marketing.

Most people using this site were either not alive during the 1992 election or were so young that they probably had no concept on how bad life was. I was a Senior in HighSchool at the time and when our Social Studies teacher announced to the class on election night that she will be commiting suicide if Bush wins, things were so bad that her statement seemed perfectly reasonable.

So no, this is not Deja Vu. This is more like fanaticism and to prove it, I can guarentee that Obamans will be calling me a racist for not supporting him because I'm terrified of the repercussions of the actions stated on his website.

If I'm not mistaken, Clinton only won because Ross Perot got 20% of the vote. I'm not sure that's true. It could be they would have voted for Clinton if not for Perot, but who can say. There wasn't anything like the Obama fever. Clinton was charismatic but didn't tend to lull people into a stupor like Obama does. It was very questionable who would win. JFK was the last "fever" candidate.

There wasn't this type of media at that time. The pundits didn't discuss every facial expression or word that was spoken. The pundits really go too far now and are pretty biased. I believe they carry too much weight and are tending to sway the country into supporting their choice.

Clinton made lofty and very specific campaign promises such as balancing the budget, decreasing the deficit, reforming welfare, educational reform, creating many jobs, things that people were hungry to hear. And Change. The amazing thing about Clinton is that he actually kept his promises even after the Republians took over the majority in the House. He was a good president and had a good background to become the president other than military experience. The promise he didn't keep was universal health care. The country wasn't ready for it then and I doubt they are now.

That's probably not a good comparison. Bush wasn't exhaused, but he didn't run a particularly good campaign. He helped steer the Cold War to a successful conclusion, and the economy really wasn't in a recession in 1992. But he went back on a pledge about taxes, even though it was the right thing to do, and campaigned on "character issues" even though few cared about it.

Clinton, if nothing else, is a heck of a campaigner, better than Obama. He exploited Bush's weaknesses nicely. But with Perot around, he never got to a majority of the vote.

Obama gives a heck of a speech, and he has caught a wave of public support because of Iraq. There was no similar issue for Clinton.

One interesting historical point -- only southerners have won the Presidency since the Civil Rights Act was signed in the mid-1960's (Carter, Clinton). Obama's election would be a major milestone.

I'm old enough, but it seems more like to me back in 1960 when John F. Kennedy ran his campaing an WON I mite add. I was always hoping in my life time I'd see another man come along that would polarize the country like Kennedy did. I was 13 then an I was so involved with it in my 8th grade class. We had a mock election an we won too. Clinton doesn't close to that.Not that is wasn't a good leader because he was. So it's Deja Vu for me too.

The influx is stimulated from the GOP's and President Bush's economical wows. This country and its citizens are in the greatest laboratory experiment done to the human race. Placing big business interest at the expense of humanity. Well we know that it has failed and now its time to get back on track. No to McSame, McBush, McShameful, and McCain. It's simply not an option.

Obama 08

Not even close,,,,,,,Clinton came from the people,,,,,,Obama is just another tool for corporate interests. The Democrat's George W Bush!

Very similar, except that Clinton was somewhat of a known entity when he was put on the pedestal. The infatuation with Obama is unsettling. Who is this guy that can walk on water and comes forth to save America?

Clinton didn't win in a landslide. He didn't even get half the popular vote.

I would liken Obama fever more to Kerry fever.

No, and it was not a landslide. A landslide is 400 electoral votes or more, and Clinton/Gore got 370.

No, Carter in 1976. Same liberal so- called Washington outsider going to take the capital by storm. same disasterous results.
