I wrote this some time ago and found it recently when clearing through old files. I thought it was kinda interesting.
Four more years...
Echoing the chants they did in 96 the crowds cheered the president elect addressed the crowd.
In 1996 Colin Powell was elected president of the United States his first four years were guided by a relatively prosperous period of US history. His second term however would be cut short by the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks. Which would lead to the McCain presidency.
John McCain served as vice president of the United States from 1996 until 09-11-01, when the attacks on the white house killed the then president Powell.President McCain would preside over a post 9-11 US and relative recovery until 2008.
It would be then that in 2008 Bill Clinton would run for reelection in an almost unheard of non consecutive term, he would run and he would win.
It would be in May of 2009 that McCain and family would move into the newly reconstructed White House. As the first was destroyed by the terrorist attacks.
