Bill Clinton actually said...

"A bipartisan commission could cut the knot that is strangling change."

"If we're going to restore a spirit of civility to American politics, a handshake has to mean in 1995 what it meant when I was growing up: We have to be as good as our word."

"We have to do everything we can to show the American people that their Government works for them and not the special interests."

"We showed that the great debate now occurring in our country can and should be conducted with civility and a sense of common ground."
