“this cannot be a happy day for big-taxing and big-spending politicians. Here is the New York Times. It says, ``Clinton Offers Challenge to Nation, Declaring Era of Big Government Is Over.'' That on the Gray Lady, America's so-called paper of record, is amazing. Here is the great Washington Times, ``Clinton Concedes End of Big Government Era.'' And here is the Washington Post, the alleged paper of record inside the beltway. ``Clinton Embraces GOP Themes in Setting Agenda.'' The era of big Government is over. As I said in a 1-minute speech this morning, Mr. Clinton did what he did in all of the State of the Union speeches, tearing pages from Ronald Reagan's book, put heroes in the gallery, military heroes, a year-ago Medal of Honor winners who, one gentleman won a Medal of Honor 7 days after his 17th birthday on the sands and ground-up lava of Iwo Jima. Last night he had sitting in the front row here, General Barry McCaffrey, who when he was a lieutenant and a young captain in Vietnam, Clinton could not gag out the word ``Vietnam,'' won three Purple Hearts. He was the general who in the White House 2 years and 10 months ago was told, ``We don't speak to people in uniform here.'' They did not know he was the commander of the 24th Infantry Division Mechanized, the point of the spear, the Hail-Mary left hook that broke through into Iraq and around Kuwait and liberated that poor besieged nation.”
