Bill Clinton actually said...

"By saving the bald eagle and bringing it back home to the Nation's Capital, these young people have honored our past."

"We're going to be around here, watch the fireworks on The Mall."

"It’s hard to think of a better way to celebrate the birth of a nation than to celebrate the rebirth of our national symbol."

"Thanks to these efforts, the bald eagle is now back from the brink, thriving in virtually every State of the Union."
