Bill Clinton wanted the job and got it, once again.

In the past four years, Clinton has learned the job. This time he must do it; do the job with passion, aggression and power.

As the first Democratic presidential candidate to be reelected since Franklin D. Roosevelt, Clinton has a more enormous challenge ahead of him than one may think.

The country has many expectations for him. And he has four more years to do what he wants to accomplish to “build a bridge to the future.”

Fortunately, his experience has given him an advantage, a head start.

In the past four years, Clinton has put forth issues such as education, welfare reform, Medicare, the deficit and crime on the agenda.

His stances on these important issues have helped many people and made many people angry.

But these issues have been raised, discussed, and some have been initiated into laws.

They are issues that delve into the core of America’s most compelling debates.

However, Clinton’s stance on these issues is important for the rest of his presidency, not just for the past four years.

As president, he cannot afford to bask in the goals that have been met during the first term for too long. He must strive for the better solutions and better goals to lead the United States into the 21st century.

This means being consistent with his stances on issues that have brought this country a long way in a short time. But it also means being willing to take risks and act on the beliefs of all the people, not the politicians.

Issues don’t die with age. Homosexual relationships, environmental concerns, affirmative action, welfare reform, health care and crime are issues very much alive in today’s society. They are issues that will exist long after Clinton steps down as president in 2001.

However, change doesn’t happen overnight. If Clinton cannot reach the ideal outcomes for these concerns, he must at least work to make substantial progress on them. After all, that is why we elected him as our president, once again.
