I remember thinking to myself; "he just clinched the election!" Boy, was I wrong. Slick Willy was the result.

Bush Sr was on his 12th year of running things (VP then P), and made the fatal "no new taxes" statement that he just could not maintain.
Also, he didn't win the first gulf war, because Saddam was still running Iraq. Bush pretty much failed.
