	Yes, the decline of CNN continues...too bad, really.  It used to be
such a good source of unbiased news.

     Exactly the point.  Yet Clinton is skewering Bush for failing to
do what he tells us *he* can do *regardless* of other circumstances.  
According to Clinton, everything is Bush's fault and if he can just work
with the Democratic Congress things would improve.
     By not taking this pledge, he's admitted what he's known all along.
There are limits to the Presidency, and some things are simply out of
his control.

     I don't know about stupid, but considering the professionals, I don't
see a problem with being amatuerish.
