Clinton Quotations | Page 4

Those (Israeli) allegations are baseless. Not true. We have turned over a complete security plan to the Americans. The Americans approved it. We worked together on it. They were happy with it. President Clinton himself approved it and was satisfied with it.

We are pleased that so many New Yorkers continue to strongly approve of the job Senator Clinton is doing for New York.

We are living in the Clinton years in economic stagnation. Your incomes are not growing, but your taxes are,

We reduce this to Bill Clinton and Ms. Lewinsky, but what is at stake here, really, is the spirit of the nation, the mood of the nation, how the world sees our nation,

Today's announcement ... is the latest step by the Clinton administration to treat human beings as property to be manipulated and destroyed,

We demand that Mrs. Clinton release the dates. New Yorkers deserve to know if she was there, 'getting to know' these big donors, or if they were merely renting out these taxpayer-owned monuments like a cheap motel.

We demanded that the United States play a role in pushing the peace process forward and we thank President Clinton and the U.S. administration for that role,

The Dems are focused on process, not results. Clinton knew bin Laden was a threat, and he attempted to 'undertake measures.' That bin Laden plotted to kill 3,000 Americans during the waning years of his term is irrelevant. Since Clinton didn't run afoul of multilateral institutions, he gets a pass. Bush has toppled two totalitarian regimes, rescued millions from Saddam and killed or detained thousands of terrorists. But he's still an ideologue and an international rogue, so, the Dems say, he has to go.

When you add the so-called money trail, it's causing people a lot of angst around the country whether there was a quid pro quo here or whether President Clinton responds to money, and, you know, I hope that isn't the case, ... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

If Hillary Clinton can be president, then one girl can be mayor.

What actually happened during the Clinton presidency? No one can remember anything about it except the bimbos, the lies, and the felonies

Clinton masturbates in the sinks.

What it says is that in many ways Hillary Clinton is still a polarizing figure.

What it did for me was make me recapture the old Linda, the pre-scandal Linda, because I had gained so much weight during the Clinton years, just obsessing on these horrible things I was witnessing and didn't know what to do.

I'm a reporter. I've been a big supporter of The Clinton Foundation. Back in 2001 and 2002, people forget that Bill Clinton went to Harlem and set this foundation up. They've helped millions of people across the globe and here in America.

I got to stick with what I know [about The Clinton Foundation]. I'm not an official of the State Department.

This is a woman [Hillary Clinton] who has shown over and over again in her career that she will elevate this conversation but, more importantly, she will get things done so all Americans can prosper and grow.

Well, WorldCom's growth exploded in the Clinton years, there's no question, there's no disputing that.

[T]he harm [Clinton AG] Reno did to American national security in the fight against terror was incalculable.

Let's just be clear: The reason this has been making headlines is because Donald Trump was discussing and bragging about sexual assault 11 years ago on a bus.It's not Hillary Clinton who put those words in his mouth.

[Senator] Kerry [democrat MA] is emerging as the worst of all the viable Democratic candidates. He has the backbone of Clinton and the charm of Gore.

Compared to Clinton, I feel like a loser. I can't even get the intern to make me coffee!

Iraq is so bad that President Obama phoned Hillary Clinton and asked her if she could start early.

The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide.

The President scores much better than Bill Clinton.

We left Clinton in the game with the fumbles. But our defense responded every time they had something thrown at them.

We learned a little bit from watching Chirac and Tony Blair walking the halls in Singapore, ... It's a coordinated effort. We want to have support from all levels so nobody is stranded. . . . I think Senator Clinton did a great job, but if you're going to win, I think we need to have every single part of our country lined up.

We ought to go back to Bill Clinton's taxes because most people in America would gladly pay the taxes we paid when Bill Clinton was president, if only we could have the same economy we had when Bill Clinton was president.

We ought to follow through on an idea that was first proposed by President Clinton to allow people over the age of 55 who are not eligible for Medicare into the Medicare system, at cost, and below cost for those who can't afford it. That takes care of a significant number of the people who don't have health insurance.

While Republicans make baseless charges, play politics, and run against each other in their primary, Hillary Clinton is spending her day working hard as senator for the people of New York.

While President Clinton wants to do anything he can to help his wife win re-election, the story is simply not true. The anonymous sources in this story are anonymous because they were wrong.

While Ms. Pirro decides whether to run for Senate, attorney general, or neither, Senator Clinton continues to work hard in the Senate for all New Yorkers.

When New York needed Mrs. Clinton to fight for veterans and veterans benefits, where was she? I know where I was. I was fighting for New York.

We would expect President Clinton and President Kim to discuss this at length.

There is a deep consensus between Gore and Bush. When you look at the last 10 years, there's not much you can think that would be different if George Bush (the former president and father of the current GOP nominee) had won and Bill Clinton had lost.

There is a deep consensus between Gore and Bush, ... When you look at the last 10 years, there's not much you can think that would be different if George Bush (the former president and father of the current GOP nominee) had won and Bill Clinton had lost.

When Clinton was elected, a lot of people on the right said it was a fluke, that it wouldn't have happened if Perot hadn't been there. So the right was offended at Clinton's election, because they didn't think it was fair - meaning the ideological right had a reason to be upset, and they expressed what they were upset about.

When Bill Clinton chose Al Gore in 1992 - from the same generational, ideological, and geographical background as his - it underscored his campaign's central argument that this was a clash between the past and the future, that 'Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow' was indeed the campaign's anthem.

To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn't do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.

We assume that things don't evolve. That Bill Clinton was always this gifted communicator because that's how he left office. But he had to grow. There were some bad days.

The party that had nominated Clinton in 1992 eventually impeached him, thanks in good part to information supplied by GOP investigators.

We will hope that the Clinton administration and the Castro government will be on the outside, and let this be resolved as family.

Finally we got a calm day to recoup. Yesterday, with stock markets down all around the world overnight and the release of the Clinton tapes, that caused a tremendous bid for the bond.

Exploiting the victims of Hurricane Katrina for political cash is a disgrace, and Sen. Clinton should know better. This probably comes as a shock to Sen. Clinton, but not everything in life should be political.

The good news is that Congress has repealed the death tax, the bad news is the president says he's going to veto it, ... But the good news is Bill Clinton is not going to be president next year.

The options that Vice President Gore is calling for today are very much among those options that President Clinton does feel are on the table and is considering,

The CEO of large multi-nationals like Hillary [Clinton]. They won`t going to like me and Wall Street is going to like me even less.

I have known Secretary [Hillary] Clinton for 25 years and respect her very much.

I congratulate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton on her victory. But, I think, for us, that is about as bad as it's going to get.

Obviously in the next few months we have got to do everything that we can to make sure that Donald Trump, who in my view is the worst, least-prepared candidate for president in my lifetime. Number two, we've got to obviously elect Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is a person who has enormous - I have enormous respect for, has a very distinguished career.

Twenty years ago, Jimmy Carter proclaimed the South Bronx the worst slum in America, ... Twenty years later, Bill Clinton comes to proclaim a miracle in the South Bronx.

... withhold making any decision on whether or not to vote on articles of impeachment against President Clinton until the Judiciary Committee has reported any such articles.

Whatever your feelings may be about William Clinton the man, or William Clinton the political ally or opponent, or William Clinton the father and the husband, ask only this: should William Clinton the president be removed from office? ... Are we at that horrific moment in our history when our union can be preserved only by taking the step that the framers saw as a last resort?

What Clinton severed with his welfare reform was the obligation of the federal government to step in when the states failed and to monitor these programs.

We don't think that anyone can predict how the 8th Circuit will rule based on the questioning. We do think that a number of legal issue were brought to the forefront. It appears that the judges are very interested ... in whether Mrs. Jones' version of the conduct of Mr. Clinton in that hotel room was severe or not.

We conveyed to President Clinton our acceptance in principle to the proposal ... with our own explanations and interpretations of those proposals in relation to all the issues,

This office has determined that the evidence was insufficient to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that either President or Mrs. Clinton knowingly participated in any criminal conduct ... or knew of such conduct,

Today's sharp decline is partly from the Clinton problem, there's no question about that at this point.

We want Bill Clinton on early to highlight the success of the Democratic Party,

Both Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter got elected because they were comfortable with their faith, which enabled them to reach voters of faith.

Brett was the kind of person that one sought to emulate. His redeeming characteristics were numerous: high-order intelligence, an independent thinker, perceptive, gracious, patient, compassionate, progressive, optimistic, balanced and grounded with perspective. What more could the students of Morgan hope for in a teacher and a mentor? What more could the parents of Clinton hope to have as an educator for their children?

Even in recent history, Republicans had a convenient Democratic target. During the Clinton administration, they ran against Clinton. Then (former Senate Majority Leader) Tom Daschle and the obstructionists of the Senate, but now that they control, if you want to separate yourself from Washington, you have to separate yourself from other Republicans.

Even though I'm skeptical that this kind of issue is going to pull the rug out from Al Gore, I think it's a plus for the Republicans to be able to talk about foreign policy, to talk about national security and to talk about the failure of the administration of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in this one area.

Either we bog down Hillary Clinton in 2006, in New York, or we give Hillary a free pass, let her build up chips around the country by helping other candidates, and walk out of New York with a big win and become unstoppable for 2008. Republicans have to get serious about a challenger to Hillary right now.

Either Monica Lewinsky lied to the grand jury, or President Clinton lied ... under any rational view of the evidence, the president lied,

Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power.

Bill Clinton told me that when he was 14, he shook John Kennedy's hand, and that inspired him to be president.

Bill Clinton thinks that somehow the engine that drives the American economy is someplace in Washington, D.C., but it's actually out here in the real world, where I've been for the last eight years,

Bill Clinton tapped the brakes on that for two terms by appealing to the middle of the electorate, but he seems to have been an aberration.

Bill Clinton seems to suffer from attention starvation disorder. He seems to need to be at the center of it, ... It is difficult to imagine an American reading 'My Life' by Bill Clinton, tossing it on the nightstand, and saying 'Eureka, we have to have John Kerry in the White House, I just figured it all out.'

Bill Clinton's 1992 convention is the most successful convention on record. Until that convention, Bill Clinton was running behind. Not only was he running behind, he was running third going into the Democratic convention in 1992. Perot was first, Bush was second, and Clinton seemed hopeless. The convention turned everything around,

Bill Clinton is valued by Americans for what he has achieved and how the country has prospered under his leadership. But he's also tried the patience of the American people and I don't think Americans will be sad to see him gone. Al Gore needs to send the signal that this is not about a continuation of the Clinton Administration, this is about a new Gore Administration.

Bill Clinton is taking the biggest public policy risk of his career and Gore just has to be there with him all the way. Otherwise what happens -- it becomes a Hubert Humphrey situation.

Bill Clinton is a classic, old-school Southern pragmatic Democrat.

Bill Clinton hopes that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic will capitulate, give up the whole of Yugoslavia. We will not allow this. This is a strategic place.

Bill Clinton does not understand that, ... He thinks he's the king. And he makes decisions that he expects you to follow, and I'm not going to follow a lot of things that he did.

Bill Clinton brought insight wisdom and determination to bear on the issues that he addressed. He was a leader who could inspire other people to go beyond what they thought were their own limits, to join him in accomplishing great goals,

Bill Clinton beat Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush, for the White House in 1992 by focusing on 'the economy, stupid' - and Clinton's victory led, in time, to the longest sustained boom in American history.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton are the most interesting and intriguing public figures of our time. Whether you support them or not, people acknowledge their dynamic personalities, strong following and ability to do things throughout the world.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore represent the most pro-lesbian and pro-gay ticket in history.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore are yesterday's news, and I think there's very little to be gained by talking about them.

Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.

Did President Clinton lie when he discussed the intelligence that led him to support the forced ouster of Saddam Hussein?

As I have said, as President Clinton has said, he is prepared to have such a summit, but we have to make sure that the conditions are right, ... extraordinarily complex.

An earthquake strikes Haiti, and care packages from America are among the first to arrive - and not far behind are former Presidents Clinton and Bush.

Even for the Clinton Administration, the ends do not justify the means, ... As pleased as most of us are that Elian is reunited with his father ... our oversight responsibilities compel us to examine whether the conduct of the attorney general and the Department of Justice are in accord with federal law, effective law-enforcement procedures, and the Constitution.

During the Reagan administration it was the height of black technology spending, Clinton scaled back but it is deemed to rise again under Bush.

During the later years of the Clinton administration some of the restrictions were lifted, which meant that people could get to Cuba to help.

There's a discussion of an exchange of gifts (between Clinton and Lewinsky). It's a bit vague. (Lewinsky) makes reference to a dress that the president may have given her. There's also talk about photographs. They sound like official White House photographs but there's at least one where there is a personal inscription that Monica Lewinsky thinks if others see, it will be incriminating, so she's talking about calling the president's personal secretary, Betty Curry, and asking for a clean copy of that photo so she can comply with the subpoena.

There's no question that we feel very good about the position we're in because Senator Clinton has done such a good job. But that doesn't mean whoever we end up running against isn't going to be well-funded. Given that, we need to prepare.

There's no doubt that Republican efforts to soften up Hillary Clinton in 2006 for 2008 haven't gone well. Anti-Clinton sentiment isn't raising the money that some had hoped for.

The United States has refused direct talks, has branded North Korea as an axis of evil, has declared an end to no first use of atomic weapons, and has invaded Iraq, and has been intercepting North Korean ships at sea, and has condemned the peace initiatives of Kim Young-sam of South Korea and President Clinton in the United States,

is that no one manages to get to the Clinton years, much less 2001.

Is Hillary Clinton as brilliant a politician as she's cracked up to be? Here's a bit of evidence for the negative: 'Clinton Says Lawyers Must Make Their Voices Heard in Washington' reads the headline of an Associated Press dispatch about a speech New York's junior senator gave at the American Bar Association convention in Chicago. Lawyers need to speak up more: Now there's a message sure to strike a chord with the public.

I've been really privileged to work for two presidents - President Obama and President Clinton - who are both people of faith, who value faith, and who respect that others have the same feelings in their own lives.

It would be incredibly naive to say that it was Bill Clinton who brought partisanship to Washington.

I've repeatedly said that Bill Clinton is neither a leader nor a statesman and I'll say it again, ... I hope this prize will help change his mind.

It was very significant that ... former President Clinton would have his office located here in central Harlem. His being here helps to budget the economic fiber of urban America.

The stocks were better performers during the Clinton administration than they were during the Bush period. The stocks actually performed well in the second half of the Carter administration. And in the whole second term of Reagan administration they were pretty awful.
