However, I felt much more could have been accomplished these past three months. Congress did pass his economic plan of higher taxes and budget cuts plus a family leave bill, but Clinton's setbacks seem more pronounced than his accomplishments. The defeat of the jobs bill, the endless search for an attorney general and the squabble over nic yays in inc nniiuuy issue nave aii uivuitu Clinton's attention and energy and have caused his original fast-paced -plan of programs to be slowed to a crawl. Clinton's problems cannot be blamed on any one person or group.

Clinton underestimated the pawer of the Republican minority, and the Republicans weren't willing to accept the American people's mandate for employment. Of course, three months are three months. There is still plenty of time for Clinton to accomplish what he promised. The gays in the military issue will come back up during the summer, and Hillary Clinton and her task force on health care reform will be ready with their recommendations in May. However, it's easier to get legislation passed now. Congress will have less nerve to do anything productive in 1994 because of congressional elections.

So to everybody who wants progress and positive reform in this country, keep hoping, and demand that Congress passes Clinton's reforms; that was what he was elected to do. But one thing does scare me: if this is supposed to be the honeymoon. I hate to think what the rest of the marriage will could be like.
