One of the things for which I have never forgiven Bill Clinton was when he did NOT replace the Panels on the White House roof On Day ONE!
That was a foreshadow of his entire administration.

Instead of working to reverse the damage done by Reagan to Organized LABOR, the Working Class, and the Environment,
he helped to consolidate their gains,
gave these ruinous policies a Democratic Party endorsement,
and then advanced the Ball toward the Republican goal line.
