Summary: A Fair Look
Comment: I read this book. As a young person just beginning to vote, I like what I read here and found Clinton to be an intelligent and educated person. I have not been able to find anything written by our current president that compares, but I am still looking. It is easy to see when a republican writes one of these reviews about a democratic author because they don't seem to know how to acknowledge intelligence! But this is an intelligently written book, on it's own merit and I recommend it.

Summary: I wish Gush & Bore had given us something like this to read
Comment: Obviously Bill Clinton is always going to be a political joke from now until the end of time, but this book from the 1992 campaign was certainly an interesting idea. I found it in a box and thought giving it a quick look before I tossed it might be interesting. In "Putting People First," candidates Clinton and Gore address thirty issues from Agriculture to Women and also includes the announcements for office and convention speeches of both candidates. For those who want something more than sound bits and joint campaign appearances (a.k.a., debates), a book like this gives you something to sink your teeth into. Of course, there was no similar volume from the Clinton-Gore administration in 1996, which is certainly not surprising. But what is sad it that we might never again see candidates lay out this many specifics for voters to look over. In an ideal world where everything is wonderful all the time ALL candidates for the Presidency would give us something this detailed. We certainly did not get that from either Gush or Bore this last time around. As for going through and checking what they did and did not accomplish, I have spent enough time grading the work of students without trying to add this to my work pile.

Summary: Most interesting in retrospect.
Comment: Although I voted for Bill Clinton twice for President, it was only recently that I happened to read this agenda-setting book from his 1992 campaign. It's astonishing at this late date to see how successful Mr. Clinton has been in turning his long-ago ideas into legislative reality. Yes, he has had some failures over his two terms (especially his failure to reform America's health care system on a large scale--he's had to make changes since in more piecemeal fashion). But the majority of the promises he made in 1992, he has since fulfilled. One of the most telling results of reading this book now, is to see how Mr. Clinton, like other politicians, has found that some of the things he thought of as black-and-white issues (such as civil rights problems in China) turn out to be much more complex once you approach them from inside the Oval Office. Despite hateful attacks on him from conservatives, President Clinton has turned out to be one of the most fair-minded and energetic presidents we've ever had. I guess I would have realized that from the first, if I'd only read this political roadmap back in '92.
