Bill Clinton

My health is good, I think. I just went to the doctor, and I had tests for 6 hours. And they said that my blood pressure was good, my heart was strong. I lost 15 pounds since last year, so I'm doing pretty good. I've got 15 more to go.

I was so happy, because I had worked very hard and because there were so many things I wanted to do. And I was really grateful, too. I just felt so grateful that people had given me that chance.

Yes, I want all of you who haven't shaken my hand before I leave, you come up here and shake hands with me. You certainly can. Okay, one more question. What is it? Is this for me? What am I going to do with all these rings? You all are…

Do I exercise? Yes, I go jogging five or six times a week, normally. And I have some weights I work out on, and I play golf as often as I can. The Secret Service jogs with me every day. And most of them are in better shape than I am and…

My favorite movie of all time, ever? My favorite movie of all time is ``High Noon.'' My second favorite movie of all time is a movie called ``Casablanca.'' And the best movie I've seen this year is ``Schindler's List''; that's what I…

My favorite sport? For me, personally, I like golf because that's the one I play the most. But I like watching basketball.

What's my bowling average? I don't bowl enough to have one, but I think it's like about 135, about 135 for the last 8 games I've bowled. But when I was in high school, I had a 168 average. And I'm starting to bowl again, so I'm trying…

I'm not 51. Sometimes I feel like I'm 151, but I'm only 47. That's the first person I shook hands with. Let's get a question there. Listen.

Why are they so thick? Why are they so thick? So the bullets don't break through. That's right. Good for you. Yes, ma'am, what's your question? How does it feel when you're flying? Have you ever been in an airplane? Well, the truth is…

Do I get worn out traveling? When I travel a whole lot, I get tired. But I like to travel because it's the only way I get to see people in the country.

Did I ever have to wash dishes? You bet. I bet I've washed more dishes than most people in this room. [Laughter] But I even wash dishes now every now and then, but not often. But I don't mind that. I've washed a lot of dishes in my life…

What do I drive? Believe it or not, one of the things that happens to you is when you're President, they don't let you drive anymore. Some people think that I got hundreds of thousands of votes so I wouldn't be able to drive anymore…

Well, as President, I'm not supposed to express a preference, but I can tell you this: They earned it, didn't they? They did it by being good at what they did. President's Activities

Yes, sometimes it's hard having a lot of responsibilities. Most of the time I like it, actually. I like being responsible for people and for their interests. But sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you just want to get up and not go to work and…

I'm just going to keep--I'm going to be the very best President I can be, and I'm not going to think about the future until I'm not President anymore. Do you want to get down? Here, hold on, I've got your hand. Do you want to get down, or…

What do I do? I've been asking myself that lately. [Laughter] Well, first of all, I try to pass laws in the Congress that take care of the needs of the American people. I speak for the United States in the rest of the world. And I command…

One hundred--no. [Laughter] Listen, one at a time. What's your question? Stand up--what's your question? I've got you--yes, hold on. What's your question?

How does it feel to live in the White House? Well, it's a great honor. Do you know, every President since 1800 has lived in the White House. Every President except for George Washington has lived there. So it's wonderful to live there…

Well, you really get right to it, don't you? [Laughter] His question was--where are they? Here's the head of my detail--do I like having Secret Service agents around me all the time? The answer to that is, the true answer is, yes and no…

Yes, that's all right, isn't it? You know, I--what's this? Is it for me? What's on that ring? What do you think? Do you all want to ask me any questions? You do? What's your question? The Presidency

Well, that's good. I'm so glad to see all of you. I just came in from Washington on an airplane, and it was raining at the airport. And I'm glad to be here where it's dry. And I came in with your Mayor, Mayor Lanier, and Congressman Green…

There are $3.2 billion in rescissions pending before the Congress.

People get together like this and they argue and talk about real issues in the spirit of partnership, thinking about the future, focusing on how it affects ordinary people.

The total of the rescission proposals included in this special messages is $1.6 billion.

Bad things will continue to happen until those folks get tired of killing each other over there.
