Dabo Swinney

Big congratulations to the Dabo Swinney and his Clemson Tigers on taking down Alabama and winning the National Championship.  The Tigers were fantastic and Dabo made some great post game remaks.  That said, he acted like he didn’t know where he was, saying “wherever the Hell we are in California.”

Dabo.  I love you but let me help you out.  You’re in Silicon Valley!  For over 25 years, Silicon Valley has driven the world economy.  Silicon Valley has driven the economy so much that it saved the Clinton Presidency.  Bill Clinton was elected President in 1992 because the economy was bad. Voters thought his ideas to bring the economy back were better than George Bush’s.  During his first two years in office, the voters became so dissatisfied that he lost Congress.  For the first time in 40 years, the Republicans were control of Congress.

Over the next two years, the economy improved so much, Clinton’s popularity improved enought that he defeated Bob Dole in the 1996 election.  Two years later, the economy was so good, Clinton remained popular despite the fact that he was impeached. President Clinton left office after the 2000 election one of the most popular presidents in history.

Now I’m not trying to criticize President Clinton.  I wish he were president today.  I just believe he benefited from a great economy.   He was in the right place at the right time.

  • If Dabo Swinney were president in the ’90s, the economy would have been good.
  • If Nick Saben were president in the ’90s, the economy would have been good.
  • If Pack 12 Commisioner Larry Scott were president in the ’90s, the economy would have been good.

Debo, you’re in Silicon Valley, the area that drives the economy and the area that saved the Clinton Presidency.
