Bill Clinton actually said...

"I believed that if we were going to succeed we had to create a country where... there was opportunity for everyone responsible enough to work for it."

"I think the responsible thing to do is to deal with the modest changes now."

"We cannot back up on that, and I hope you will help me get all the people in your respective States on that bandwagon."

"We almost had to save ourselves from a legacy in some ways that was not entirely of the Democrats' own making."
