- I think that's precisely WHY that march was chosen to usher
- Bill Clinton in to office. He wants to herald and encourage change. It was
- also the theme of his speech. He wants his administration to be completely
- different from the last two.
-
- He's actually not off to a terrible start. He's making some mistakes, but
- it looks like he's trying to create progress rather than getting completely
- mired down immediately.
