Bill Clinton actually said...

"We believe, as I said—first of all, we believe that Kim Il-song's leadership in starting these talks again was a very good thing."

"I have extended sincere condolences to the people of North Korea on behalf of the people of the United States after the death of Kim Il-song."

"Jobs and wages at home must be paramount, that we are tied to each other in fundamental ways in our ability to achieve our national goals."

"We believe it is in the interest of both countries to continue."
