Bill Clinton

You know, Wolf [Wolf Blitzer, CNN], under the law, I have to wait until the OMB makes a recommendation to me. I think we have to anticipate things. I can't say more than that right now. [At this point, the President signed the…

Peninsula Energy Development Organization August 21, 1996 Dear Mr. __________: I transmit herewith the 6-month report required under the heading ``International Organizations and Programs'' in Title IV of the Foreign Operations…

Thank you. Four years from now some of them will come back and say, ``You know, you were right about that, Mr. President. You were right about that.'' Let me say just one or two things if I might---- [The demonstration again interrupted…

You know, one of the greatest things about this country is you can say whatever is on your mind, and nobody can shut you up. On the other hand---- Audience members. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

Okay, we've heard your message now. Thank you very much. All right, give them a hand as they exit, will you? We heard them. Give them a hand. Give them a hand. [Applause] Be nice to them; don't be rough. They don't have a right to do this…

Thank you. First of all, I just want to say I hope all of you have had just half as good a time tonight as I have. I want to thank my friend Whoopi Goldberg and all the other magnificent entertainers and Jeff Margolis, who did the…

I don't have any idea. You all watch it and tell me. I wouldn't know. But I'm just happy to be here--still standing--at 50. Thank you.

When I got--I cannot confirm any final reports. Last night--maybe it was 2:30 this morning, quarter to 3, it was about that time when I got a call. I was told that they thought the pilot had turned around to come back to the airport. And…

America is going in the other direction.

Well, yes. I was sort of derelict today. I decided I'd sleep in and kind of laze around. So we've just been fooling around at home. Good to see you.

I got these boots about, oh, 8 years ago--7, 8 years ago, in Salem, Arkansas, Fulton County. I went out to help them--it was a little town of 1,000 people, and they got one of our economic development airport grants. And they gave me these…

We ought to give him some kind of medal. He's in great shape. [Laughter] Marlene, how are you doing? Ms. Marlene MacDonald. I'm good. How are you? You look great.

Yes, and I see--we weren't carrying all that. I don't know how you all did that. Somebody made it all through with a huge camera.

Well, I really didn't--when I took you all off on that wild goose chase I didn't know it was going to be quite as demanding as it was. But I'm glad we did it.

I found out when I was on that golf course that my rhythm wasn't quite there anymore. [Laughter] Whew, it was bad after a while. [Laughter]

A little bit, I think. I'm almost--I dropped 15 or 20 pounds, I guess, since--in the last year or so. Got to be in shape, you know. This is a rigorous endeavor.

I'm excited about it. We're trying to--I think they probably finalized all the routes now, and I love trains, so I'm excited about it. I didn't know--the main thing I was concerned about is if we did it I just didn't want to inconvenience…

No, I'm going to leave them alone, let them have their convention. I like Al Gore; that's my comment. [Laughter] The best Vice President in history. Democratic Convention

More rested now. The first 2 days I worked real hard trying to finish the book, and, you know, a lot of things happened the last 2 months which kind of got me behind deadlines. So I worked pretty hard on that. But yesterday I got to play a…

Well, it's not an exclusive list of all the things I intend to do, but it makes the argument about why I think the direction we're going is right, why we're better off than we were, and what I hope we'll do. And it's just something I've…

No, I'm not lying to the American people. Do we have 10 million more jobs than we did under the previous President, or not? Yes. Do we have 4\1/2\ million more homeowners and 10 million people that refinanced their home mortgages at lower…

----terrorism, drugs, organized crime, are things that cross national lines. Don't pay any attention to those folks. [Laughter] We got a limit of one question for a rally here--interruption. [Laughter] The rest of you ought to be--if you…

You know, we believe in the first amendment here. I'll be glad to answer your question, but they came here to hear me, so if you'll talk a bit later--[applause]. Thank you. But I will tell you, I'll give you an answer if you'll stop…

Well, right now we have a Supreme Court decision and an administration committed to the pro-choice position and committing to doing whatever we can to keep the Government out of that decision but to take initiatives that would reduce the…

Well, the most important thing is, will it hurt the American people? And I favor targeted tax cuts for education that are paid for. I am unalterably opposed to going back to the mistake we made before in having big tax cuts that are not…
