BOB DOLE : 1995 Clinton's Comeback
We begin our third season on Bob Dole's life and career, by traveling back in time to his April 1995 Presidential Campaign Announcement. At that point the Republican Party was on the rise everywhere and Bill Clinton appeared to be a sitting duck. Then a series of events would occur between April and December of 1995 that would resurrect Clinton's Presidency and put him 20 points ahead of any potential rival, including Bob Dole. That margin would stay frozen in place throughout 1996. This is that story. In our third of four seasons, we will look back at Bob Dole's 1995 as he takes off into the Presidential campaign, while also trying to manage Congress. A Congress full of unruly new Republican firebrands in the House under their revolutionary Speaker Newt Gingrich. We will listen as that struggle between the Republican Establishment, the new House Republicans under Gingrich, and the Liberal Democrats in Congress, all converge into a battle for power, all of which allows Bill Clinton to perform one of the most dramatic political comebacks in all of American History. We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

This is that speech, a future President in his prime speaking on one of the most critical foreign Policy issues of the era.

There will be two competing resolutions, one cutting funds and not supporting the mission as designated by President bill Clinton.

Bosnia, Bill Clinton, and Bob Dole: Politics Meets Principle
In the 1990s, the war in Bosnia presented President Bill Clinton and the United States with one of the most difficult foreign-policy decisions of the post-Cold War era. After years of ethnic violence, atrocities, and international inaction, the United States ultimately decided to send American troops to Bosnia as part of an international peacekeeping missio...

This episode features all of the candidates but it is spread out over the entire two hours by candidates entering the fray at various times. This forum was supposed to be held in Florida for the Republican convention there and the Presidency 3 campaign event. But the Senate ended up voting on the Balanced Budget Amendment at the same time that evening. That tied the Senators down in Washington D.C.
This meant t...
In this episode we examine the growing rift over the Federal Budget. It would see the Republican Leadership under the new House Speaker attempt to force cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, and several other entitlement programs on the President.
The President was already in huge political trouble and in his weak position the republicans thought they could force his hand but in that moment pollster Dick Morris saw Clint...
Here is my student video project for a Mass Communications class at Lander University for Professor Frank Jackson, who was one of my favorites.
The video was saved from an old videotape and the sound quality has eroded some but it’s still fairly clear except for the Lindsey Graham segment because he had to whisper at the event we were recording from.
Still, I am proud of this project ...

This column got him added to the student newspaper regular staff and began his rather brief journalism career. It was a lot of fun and one of the happiest times he had during his college day...
