There wasn't question who was getting the Stone-Davis vote for President in 1992. Bill Clinton was the only choice, and not solely because he was the Democratic Party candidate, he was the best man for the job.
It was one of the few times when everyone could sit at the same dinner table and totally agree on anything. Ira and Rebecca could only stare when Jacob put his arm around Michael's shoulder as he got up from the dinner table.
On November 3rd, Bill Clinton defeated incumbent U.S. President George H. W. Bush and businessman H. Ross Perot. Jacob was so happy, he invited Ira and Michael out for a celebratory victory dinner. After the meal, Michael offered to the server, "I'll take that..." "Don't be ridiculous, we invited you boys out, it's on us, " Jacob insisted. "Thanks Dad," Ira Chimed in. Rebecca felt like she was having an out of body experience, but just sat quiet and smiled sweetly, she did not want to do anything to ruin the moment.
Jacob's generosity was just like Chicago weather, it change with a gust of wind. Ira and Michael enjoyed it while it lasted.
