Synopsis
"What happened to 'We are the Change' between 1988 and 1992? The answer to that question explains why George Bush was a one-term President. The Party of new ideas had become the party of incumbency.

The country saw its sixty-eight-year-old President traveling the land expressing his own bewilderment and calling 1992 'weird, weird, man'. And
