I'm a big fan of Bill Clinton which kind of puts me on the outs with most on this site.
The reason I'm such a fan of him is that given the time we could not have done better. It's the same reason that I'm not such a fan of Obama. Given the time we should have gotten much more.
As far as being Democratic the biggest motivator for me was the understanding that while the GOP was always looking out for the rich guy the Dems were looking out for the working man.
I still believe that though this administration has blown the golden opportunity to convince the public of the same. Instead, they have developed and proposed policies that enrich the fat cats. All in the name of appearing bipartisany.
I will always be a Dem and will fight to get them voted into office even though in many cases they disappoint me.
