Because the masses are still gathered around the Bush Administration admiring the emperor's new clothes.

Because the peace and prosperity under Clinton were a complete illusion:
Prosperity - anyone remember the dot com crash? To the extent that a President can be responsible for the economy, you can't attribute all the good then conveniently forget all the bad.
Peace - Clinton had at least 6 years to take care of Osama bin Laden after the first world trade center bombing. He did nothing except fire a few cruise missiles at some tents (oh, and a pharmaceutical factory). Clinton wasted his time chasing down a few Serbs who he blamed for war crimes, when ironically most of the atrocities didn't start until _after_ the U.S. intervention began.
Maybe we had hope and optimism then, but it was because we were all blind and stupid. Now we know better.

Because Clinton was a big fat liar. He lied about the economy, he lied about America's security. The only people that had hope and optimism are those who wanted their welfare checks to keep coming.

We can once we break this reign of terror under Bush. We need to have the hope and optimism for that day.

Because when democrats aren't in power, they're not interested in doing anything to actually help the country, they just want to make the republican president look bad and throw fits about anything a republican says or does.

Because, due to Clinton's ineffective foreign relations policies, we've been attacked and now we have to deal with the fallout. Clinton preferred to stick his fingers in his ears and shout "LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING" when it came to threats abroad. Now we're cleaning up his mess.

Hope and optimism??? Was I asleep or something? I don't recall having much hope or optimism during Bill "Caligula's" reign.

Do you mean the hope for our interns to give us oral and then to get away with lying in court. Great things that we really should have back in this country.

I'm hopefull and optimistic. Hopefull that we can keep Clinton-like dirtbags out of office and I'm optimistic that we can undo the effects of 40 years of liberal rule that ended with him.

You're at war on several fronts and your right wing government is playing dirty trying to shift what used to be center to the right in order to consolidate their unholy war on the left. Pity you.
