Bill Clinton: “Today the Nation mourns the loss of a great public servant.”

We have worked to give the American people a smaller, less bureaucratic government in Washington. And we have to give the American people one that lives within its means.

We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, 'Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It's my way or the highway.'

You mean to tell me that the success of the program and my re-election hinges on the Federal Reserve and a bunch of fucking bond traders?

I hope that people will still believe in our democratic system enough to stick with it and keep pushing to make it work.
