Bill Clinton became the 42nd and, at age 46, the11ation's third youngest president ofthe United St.ates. After months ofmaking his name a household conversation piece and covering miles of campaign trails, Clinton now stands as the victor of a long climb to the White House. · At 11:15 p.m. EST, President George Bush made Clinton's presidency official by conceding the race from his texas campaign headquarters and asking Americans to "stand behind our new president." Americans took Clinton's word that he will fight to change the United States. They yearn for the United States to be re-established as the indisputable world champion in industry and economy. And, they look to Bill Clinton to do the job. "This election is a clarion call to the nation," Clinton announced to his supporters at about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday. He addressed his call for changes emphasizing that the nation's economy would go from a defense-based to a domestic-based one. He will get his chance to create jobs, retrain workers and improve the nation's infrastructures and health care programs. Clinton insists he will not raise taxes on the middle class but will ask for more from the wealthy. Clinton showed positive signs of success soon after the earliest national exit survey numbers began rolling in. In alls Clinton captured the majorityof votes in 26 states or 349 electoral votes.
