Bill Clinton actually said...

"This is a very important day and a very important piece of legislation for all of us who care about our country's Capital."

"Delaying reform any further would be a betrayal of what the American people want."

"We must pass a bill that reforms the welfare system and restores mainstream values of work and family, responsibility and community."

"Real welfare reform, tax and spending cuts that reduce both the budget deficit and the education deficit, and more steps to fight crime, not to back up on the fight: those are my top priorities."
