He's the first US President I knew. Basically grew up with him as the image of America (for better and for worse). It's hard.
same here, despite hw bush showing up on cartoon all stars to the rescue and whatever. i voted clinton in 1996 on the nickelodeon kids votes thing, and thought he was a pretty good speaker when i was a kid. looking back, he's further right than i am now, but i still get nostalgic seeing the guy.
