Clinton’s spiel about how the conservative philosophy of the last 25 years was finally put into action in 2001. Sounds good. Some fair aspects to it. Lots of B.S. as well. The expansion of Medicare, No Child Left Behind, DHS even Faith-Based Initiatives don’t have that much in common with Reaganite conservatism.

Also, one could say the same thing about Clinton and the Democrats in 1992. When they finally got control of the entire government, we got gays in the military as a top priority alongside socialized medicine and tax hikes. And, the “Clinton economy” didn’t really start, if memory serves until the Gingrich Congress came online.
