Bill Clinton actually said...

"We hope the sorrow of this difficult time will be eased by an appreciation of the profound contribution that President Mitterrand made to his nation and the world."

"I'm prepared to just stay all day."

"This bill is a step in the right direction— but only a step."

"But—whether you were furloughed or working—by your commitment and your sacrifice, you continued to serve our nation as loyally as ever during this crisis."
