Bill Clinton: “Thank you. Let me say before you ask your question, I'm glad to have this opportunity to have this kind of discussion.…”

On the recordOctober 24, 1994
Thank you. Let me say before you ask your question, I'm glad to have this opportunity to have this kind of discussion. And I want people who disagree with me to ask their questions. And I don't believe that any party or group has a monopoly on political wisdom. But I'll tell you something, when you hired me to be President, you knew that no matter who was President, this country had a lot of serious problems and we had to face them and that all the solutions wouldn't be popular. If it were easy, somebody would have already done it. The only thing I don't want you to do is to fall into the path of just taking another easy way out. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
