Bill Clinton actually said...

"The Republican Congress has failed to take responsible action to prevent default for the first time in our history."

"I strongly believe their budget plan is bad for America."

"We can balance the budget without the deep cuts in education, without the deep cuts in the environment, without letting Medicare wither on the vine."

"I vetoed the spending bill sent to me by Congress last night because America can never accept under pressure what it would not accept in free and open debate."
