Bill Clinton: “Now, that may be--that's right, that may be my fault, it may be somebody else's fault. But the reality is, the economy…”

“Now, that may be--that's right, that may be my fault, it may be somebody else's fault. But the reality is, the economy is going in the right direction, I'm keeping the commitments of the campaign to empower people through education and through health care initiatives and through all these other things. Why don't they know that? I don't know. I gave a speech the other day to 250 people from my home town, my home State who were up here, and I just went through these specific things. And they said, ``There must have been a conspiracy to keep this a secret; we didn't know any of this.'' Mr. Russert. But in six States since you've been President, Senate seats in Texas and Georgia, Governorships in Virginia, New Jersey, mayoralties in New York and Los Angeles have all gone Republican. There must be some small message in there for you.”
