Bill Clinton: “Thank you very much. Come on up, Congressman--give Congressman Borski a hand for going to his daughter's soccer game.…”

“Thank you very much. Come on up, Congressman--give Congressman Borski a hand for going to his daughter's soccer game. Give him a hand. [Applause] One of the things you need to know if you're in public life is how to make a proper entrance. [Laughter] And Bob just qualified. Actually, I saw him this morning. We were both out running at Fort McNair in Washington, DC, and he said he'd be here tonight. And I thank him for keeping his word. Thank you, Congressman Chaka Fattah, for that powerful introduction and for your great service. Thank you, Congressman Tom Foglietta, for your friendship and your support. Thank you, Gussie, and thank you, Mina Baker Knoll, and thank you, Joe Kohn. Thank you, Mr. Chairman Fowler, for all the endless nights that you go back and forth across America in search of the magical chemistry of victory, not just for our party and our candidates but for the kind of America we're fighting for. And thank you, Mr. Mayor, for proving that the Democratic Party can be the party of the future and the party of all the people, the party of compassion and competence, the party of the mind and the party of the heart. Thank you all. Ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply moved by this large outpouring. As President Kennedy used to say, I am deeply touched, but not so deeply touched as you are tonight. [Laughter] I thank you for your support, and I thank you for your commitment to your city, your State, and your country.…”
