On the recordFebruary 28, 1996
Let me just say this, in the 1992 presidential primary, candidate Bill Clinton had an ad that said this: ``Hi, I am Bill Clinton. I believe you deserve a change. That is why I have a plan to stimulate the economy, starting with a middle-class tax cut.'' Now, we all know, after running on a promise of a middle-class tax cut, the President turned around and in 1993 passed the largest tax increase in the history of our country. But it is ironic, the other day he said, ``I was raised in an old-fashioned home, in an old fashioned time, maybe, but I still think when you tell somebody you are going to do something, you ought to do everything you can to do it.'' That was President Bill Clinton at a press conference, January 5, just over 2 months ago, 1996. All we are saying is, great we are glad, let us use those old-fashioned hometown values that we all love in America, both Democrats and Republicans think highly of. Let us go ahead and give middle-class America the tax cut that he promised and that we want to give him.

That's what base republicans called Barack Obama. I think that's partisan rhetoric. I don't think it's accurate at all.
