Bill Clinton actually said...

"I will be very surprised if we are not successful in developing a bipartisan, constructive, successful approach to fast track before this Congress is over."

"Let all 100 Senators stand up and be counted in the full view of the American people."

"I'm disappointed, of course, that this step was necessary because we worked very hard, and we're very close to having the requisite number of votes."

"I think it's clear to everybody that America's leadership in the world depends upon America's continuing economic leadership."
