Bill Clinton: “San Francisco, California November 20, 1993 Thank you very much, William Lewis Brown, Junior. [Laughter] I love San…”

“San Francisco, California November 20, 1993 Thank you very much, William Lewis Brown, Junior. [Laughter] I love San Francisco. Willie Brown gets called by his full name, and Clarence Clemmons replaces the Marine Band. You know, I once told Dianne Feinstein I would do anything legal I could for California. It turned out that that included replacing her at her own fundraiser. You wonder how I get those one-vote margins--no chore is too large or small for the President to perform. [Laughter] Dianne throws a party for 750 people, Dick doesn't even come to the airport to meet me, and I show up here to speak anyway. [Laughter] It reminds me, you know, the last time I was in California a few weeks ago, I went down to L.A., and I had been through an interesting period of humbling, as I periodically experience. I mean, first, Al Gore goes on the Letterman show and is a smash hit, smashing his little ashtray and proving that we're going to reinvent Government, and he becomes a media star. I get beat up in the news; he has fun on Letterman. [Laughter] Then Hillary goes before the Senate and answers questions for 5 days without notes, and there's a poll in USA Today saying that 40 percent of the American people think she's smarter than I am. They asked me what I thought about it. I said what I thought was I couldn't understand how the other 60 percent missed it. [Laughter] But then they told me I had a trip to California. I have such a wonderful time when I come out here.…”
