Sample text
After scoring decisive victories in most of the key primaries around the country, Dukakis wrapped up the nomination and headed for Atlanta, the site of the party’s convention. There, Clinton placed Dukakis’s name in nomination, but his lengthy and tedious speech caused delegates to call for the use of ‘‘the hook” in order to end their misery and boredom. Clinton’s speech was the least of Dukakis’s problems. Put simply, Dukakis lacked a serious programmatic alternative to the conservative agenda of Ronald Reagan and George Bush during a period of sustained economic growth and the apparent ending of the Cold War.
While his advisers debated, Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd president of the United States. Giving a spirited inaugural address, he sought to project himself as the agent of change who would seek to restore the people’s confidence in government and public institutions. ” Moving quickly to counter past Republican policies, he issued an executive order ending the federal prohibition on the use of fetal tissue for medical research, and he authorized the use of federal funds to provide abortion counseling in federally funded health clinics.
Although there had been a solid upturn in economic growth in 1992, particularly in the third and fourth quarters, the underlying reality was that too many Americans were still unemployed as a result of the recession of 1990–91, which spelled disaster for George Bush. Clinton won the election with only 43 percent of the popular vote, but his margin of victory in the Electoral College was more substantial. He received 370 votes, carrying such strategically important states as California, New York, Ohio, and Illinois.
