1993.  The economy's in a tailspin.  Every Republican opposes Bill Clinton's economic plan.  But, Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt digs in and wins the fight in Congress by one vote. 

The result: The longest expansion ever.  Millions of new jobs. 

Gephardt: I'm Dick Gephardt.  We took the political heat, but we did what was right.  Now we have to get rid of the Bush tax cuts to create new jobs, and guarantee health care for all.  That's why I approved this message.
