Bill Clinton actually said...

"I am committed to upholding the pledge I made last year—that we must not drain the surplus until we save Social Security."

"This is the economically sound and fiscally prudent course for our country."

"This year's theme, 'The Legacy of African American Leadership for the Present and the Future,' is a recognition that we can draw strength and inspiration to face our challenges."

"It is profoundly important, therefore, that all across America people see this budget not just as a budget that saves Social Security and Medicare."
