On the recordSeptember 19, 1996

late last week the Boston Globe ran the following article--``Four more years? Here are 40 reasons to say ``no.'' I'd like to share their more amusing reasons to vote against Clinton. His ``Cabinet that looks like America'' contained 14 lawyers and 10 millionaires; ``100,000 more police on the street.'' Seen them yet? ``A tax cut for the middle class.'' Seen it yet? George Bush was right: Clinton did want to turn the White House into the waffle house. Shut down two of the four runways at Los Angeles International Airport so he could have his hair cut aboard Air Force one by Christophe of Beverly Hills; Christophe's going rate: $200 per haircut; Jocelyn Elders; Craig Livingstone. Clinton went on national television and answered questions about his underwear. Mr. Speaker, haven't we had enough?
