Political Quotes

“the President is talking tough on welfare reform again. Remember, this is the President, who as a candidate, promised to ``end welfare as we know it.'' But when this Congress presented him with legislation that truly would end welfare as we know it, Mr. Clinton quickly vetoed it. When Congress once again sent him welfare reform he vetoed it again. Now his pollsters have apparently told him that it's time to change course again, or, at least appear to change course. He's once again saying the he supports welfare reform. Unfortunately, what he's actually proposed is not even a pale copy of meaningful reform. Mr. Speaker, talk is cheap, Candidate Bill Clinton made welfare reform a centerpiece of his campaign for the Presidency. It's time for him to keep his word. It's time to stop the political posturing. It's time for him to sign a real welfare reform bill.”
