We're all doing fine, thank you, and the president, undeservedly, gets the credit. Clinton is good with words. He knows what the public wants to hear. Most of all, he has been incredibly lucky with the economy. Secondly, and equally cynically, everybody knew what kind of man he was when he was elected.
