Bill Clinton

I thought about it a lot and there are lots more sophisticated explanations, more complicated psychological explanations but none of them are an excuse.

Only a fool does not look to explain his mistakes.

I think I did something for the worst possible reason, just because I could.

I never considered resigning and fought tooth and nail efforts to impeach me, which I called 'an abuse of power.'

Saying if you would just let me straighten your nose and take the bags out from under your eyes. It was like if you had a different face, you'd be handsome.

He was not mean spirited. He was always optimistic about our country. And he believed that freedom was a universal value.

We do have to build a bridge to the 21st century.

And never again must we be shy in the face of the evidence.

I made a mistake, said that I regretted it.

I ask you to look at John Kerry tonight and say to him what he has said to us his entire adult life. Send me.

The Bush and Clinton law enforcement teams may also be asked whether the U.S. should set up a British style MI5 domestic spy agency and take that job away from the FBI.

With respect to the debate that has been occurring, I understand the concerns raised by the Senator from Virginia, but under this amendment States would have the option of either enacting a primary seatbelt law or bringing their seatbelt…

I clearly have a fundamental disagreement with the views of the junior Senator from Virginia. I hope our colleagues will look at the facts. The facts are that failure to enforce seatbelt laws, to make it absolutely clear that there are…

I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

I am strongly opposed to it. I think it is bad for my State of New York and I think it is bad for our entire Nation. Yet I am very disappointed to find myself in this position where I feel compelled to oppose something called an Energy…

I did not have sexual relationships with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.

One way that we might consider to help States provide the full range of adoption services is to tap into the pot of unspent funds in the Adoption Incentives Program. Last year $45 million was appropriated for the purpose of awarding…

Now, there have been some news reports lately that have argued that the Adoption Incentives Program has put children in dangerous situations by creating a strong financial incentive to place children for adoption out of foster care without…

I very much appreciate all the time that has gone into this act. And I am pleased that we are going to work together to have the General Accounting Office look into what is the best way to structure the adoption incentives formula so that…

Of course, as the number of children in foster care declines, as it has in New York City, it becomes increasingly difficult for states to qualify for adoption incentive awards. In order to receive such a bonus, states must exceed the…

USDA grants have paid for the purchase of over 50 electronic benefit transfer machines. Now it is up to us to make sure this investment proves to be a worthwhile one. Though there are already positive reports about the use of this new…

As I explained in my letter to the Committee dated April 16, 2003, without our help in funding the Tree Assistance Program (TAP), most, if not all cherry growers will not be able to afford the costs of replanting on top of the estimated 20…

On September 14, I was pleased to have the opportunity to host our second annual Farm Day, an event that I derive great pleasure from. While showcasing agriculture, our State's No. 1 industry, my excitement was put in check by some…
