Anonymous: American PoliticsGeneral American political overview with a focus on the 2004 presidential election.(Untitled)- October 29, 2004 5 years ago... ...was around the exact time that I began traveling internationally for business.

The government of the United States was seen as all-powerful, but mainly benevolent and President Clinton was loved as much for his faults as for his talents.
