  I liked the example that Perot used in one of his tv shows.  If your 
net worth is a penny, and you get another penny, you have doubled your
net worth.

  The "advances" that Clinton boasted about are the same as this.  Would
you look up to the person who's net worth is now two pennies?  No, he
would still be the same welfare recipient, food stamp recipient, and
every other social program recipient that he was before.  Just as
Clinton is still the same old democrat, who through his political
advancement staff was made to look like the "New and Improved Democrat."
That's what I would call a wolf in sheep's clothing.
