• Mr. President, you are non leading this Nation—you're merely managing the Government. You don't see the people enough whatever more. Some of your Cabinet members don't seem loyal. There is non enough subject field amongst your disciples. Don't talk to us well-nigh politics or the mechanics of government, but about an understanding of our common good.

• I feel your pain.
  • Response to AIDS activist Bob Rafsky at the Laura Belle nightclub in Manhattan (March 27, 1992)

• Now, I don't take all the answers, but I practise know the old ways don't work. Trickledown economics has sure failed. And big bureaucracies, both private and public, they've failed also. That'due south why we need a new approach to government, a government that offers more empowerment and less entitlement. More choices for young people in the schools they nourish- in the public schools they attend. And more than choices for the elderly and for people with disabilities and the long-term intendance they receive. A government that is leaner, not meaner; a government that expands opportunity, not bureaucracy; a government that understands that jobs must come from growth in a vibrant and vital system of costless enterprise.
  • William J. Clinton: "Address Accepting the Presidential Nomination at the Democratic National Convention in New York," July 16, 1992. Online by Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley, The American Presidency Project.

• Every twelvemonth Congress and the president sign laws that brand us exercise more things and gives us less money to do it with. I run into people in my state, middle-class people — their taxes have gone up in Washington and their services accept gone downwards while the wealthy have gotten tax cuts. I have seen what's happened in this final four years when — in my state, when people lose their jobs there's a good chance I'll know them by their names. When a factory closes, I know the people who ran it. When the businesses go bankrupt, I know them. And I've been out here for 13 months meeting in meetings only like this ever since October, with people like you lot all over America, people that have lost their jobs, lost their livelihood, lost their health insurance.

What I want you to understand is the national debt is not the only cause of that. It is because America has not invested in its people. Information technology is considering we take non grown. It is because nosotros've had 12 years of trickle-down economics. We've gone from offset to 12th in the world in wages. Nosotros've had four years where we've produced no private-sector jobs. Almost people are working harder for less money than they were making 10 years agone. It is because nosotros are in the grip of a failed economic theory. And this conclusion you're well-nigh to brand better exist about what kind of economic theory you want, non merely people saying I'm going to go fix information technology simply what are we going to do? I think nosotros take to practice is invest in American jobs, American education, control American health care costs and bring the American people together over again.

And at some point, I notwithstanding hope that the leadership of the National Rifle Clan volition become back to doing what information technology did when I was a boy and which made me desire to be a lifetime member because they put out valuable information well-nigh hunting and marksmanship and safe use of guns. Only just to know of the conditions we face today in a lot of our cities and other places in this state and the enormous threat to public safety is amazing.

• When we got organized every bit a land and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was causeless that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly. That is, when nosotros set upward this land, abuse of people past Regime was a big problem. So if you read the Constitution, it'southward rooted in the want to limit the ability of — Government's ability to mess with you, because that was a huge trouble. It can still exist a huge problem. But information technology assumed that people would basically be raised in coherent families, in coherent communities, and they would work for the common good, as well as for the individual welfare.
  • Television interview on MTV'south Enough is Plenty (19 April 1994)

• All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed past the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our land. The jobs they concord might otherwise exist held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they apply impose burdens on our taxpayers. That'southward why our assistants has moved aggressively to secure our borders more past hiring a record number of new edge guards, past deporting twice as many criminal aliens every bit ever earlier, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I volition present to you, nosotros will try to practise more than to speed the displacement of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended past the commission headed by quondam Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws nosotros have seen in recent years, and nosotros must practise more to stop information technology.
  • State of the Union address (24 January 1995)

• I say this to the militias and all others who believe that the greatest threat to freedom comes from the Regime instead of from those who would take abroad our freedom: If yous say violence is an acceptable way to make change, you lot are wrong. If you say that Regime is in a conspiracy to take your freedom away, you are merely plain wrong. If you treat law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for your safety every day similar some kind of enemy army to exist suspected, derided, and if they should enforce the constabulary confronting you, to be shot, you are wrong. If yous appropriate our sacred symbols for paranoid purposes and compare yourselves to colonial militias who fought for the republic you now track against, you are wrong. How dare you lot suggest that we in the freest nation on Earth live in tyranny! How dare you lot call yourselves patriots and heroes!

And all of us -- the anger, the resentment, the bitterness, the desire for recrimination against people you believe accept wronged you -- they harden the heart and deaden the spirit and lead to self-inflicted wounds. And and so it is important that we are able to forgive those we believe take wronged usa, even as we ask for forgiveness from people nosotros have wronged.

  • Land of the Union Accost (January 19, 1999)

• Secretary-Full general Annan spoke for all of us ... when he said that ethnic cleansers and mass murderers tin can find no refuge in the United nations, no source of comfort or justification in its lease. We must do more to brand these words real. Of course, we must approach this claiming with some considerable caste of humility. Information technology is easy to say, "Never once again," merely much harder to make information technology and so. Promising too much tin can be equally cruel as caring as well trivial. Simply difficulties, dangers, and costs are not an argument for doing nothing. When we are faced with deliberate, organized campaigns to murder whole peoples or expel them from their land, the care of victims is important but not plenty. We should work to end the violence.

• Americans have more freedom and broader rights than citizens of most any other nation in the world, including the capacity to criticize their government and their elected officials. Simply we do not have the right to resort to violence — or the threat of violence — when we don't become our mode. Our founders synthetic a organisation of government so that reason could prevail over fright. Oklahoma Metropolis proved again that without the law in that location is no freedom.

  Criticism is office of the lifeblood of democracy. No 1 is right all the time. But we should remember that there is a large deviation between criticizing a policy or a politician and demonizing the government that guarantees our freedoms and the public servants who enforce our laws.

• She loved her teaching and she got frustrated when one of her students said, well, what do you expect, I'm just from Arkansas. She said, don't tell me that, you're as smart equally everyone, yous've just got to believe in yourself and work hard and set high goals. She believed that anybody could make it.
• I married my best friend. I was notwithstanding in awe afterward more than four years of being around her at how smart and stiff and loving and caring she was. And I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my communication to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret.
• If you believe in making change from the lesser up, if you believe the measure of modify is how many people's lives are better, yous know it'south difficult and some people think it's boring. Speeches like this are fun. Actually doing the piece of work is hard. So people say, well, we demand to change. She'due south been around a long time, she sure has, and she's sure been worth every single twelvemonth she's put into making people'southward lives amend.
• If you were sitting where I'm sitting and you heard what I have heard at every dinner conversation, every lunch conversation, on every lone walk, yous would say this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything. She always wants to move the brawl forward. That is but who she is.
• Piece by piece, pushing that rock upward the hill.
• Nobody who has seriously dealt with the men and women in today's military believes they are a disaster. They are a national treasure of all races, all religions, all walks of life.
• If you win elections on the theory that government is always bad and will mess upwards a ii-car parade a real alter-maker represents a existent threat. So your but option is to create a cartoon, a cartoon culling, then run confronting the cartoon. Cartoons are two- dimensional, they're like shooting fish in a barrel to absorb. Life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard. And a lot of people even think it's boring.
• Hillary is uniquely qualified to seize the opportunities and reduce the risks we face. And she is still the best darn change-maker I have ever known. You could drib her into whatsoever problem spot, pick 1, come up dorsum in a month and somehow, some mode she will have fabricated information technology better. That is just who she is.
• There are clear, achievable, affordable responses to our challenges. Merely nosotros won't get to them if America makes the wrong choice in this ballot. That's why you should elect her. And you should elect her considering she'll never quit when the going gets tough. She'll never quit on you.

• Today we faced an unprecedented set on on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our country.
  The assault was fueled by more four years of poison politics spreading deliberate misinformation, sowing distrust in our system, and pitting Americans against ane another. The match was lit by Donald Trump and his virtually ardent enablers, including many in Congress, to overturn the results of an election he lost.
  The ballot was costless, the count was fair, the result is last. We must complete the peaceful transfer of power our Constitution mandates.
  I have ever believed that America is made up of good, decent people. I withal practise. If that's who we really are, we must reject today'due south violence, turn the page, and move forward together — honoring our Constitution, remaining committed to a regime of the people, by the people, and for the people.

(alpabetical by author)

• The rage murder is new. It appeared under Reagan, during his cultural economic revolution, and it expanded in his backwash. Reaganomics has ruled America ever since. For all of the Correct's hysterical attacks on Clinton equally a left-winger, the fact is that it was Clinton who administered a lethal injection to the welfare system with his Orwellian-named Personal Responsibleness and Piece of work Opportunity Reconciliation Human activity. Under Clinton, Wall Street floruished with greater deregulation, globalization accelerated equally never before, downsizings soared, and the anti-spousal relationship, pro-shareholder corporate culture that Reagan launched went from being a radical experiment to a way of life. By the time George W. Bush took function, the cultural-economical transformation had become and so deeply entrenched that what once would have been considered extreme and unacceptable was cheered and praised, even by those who suffered. The modify was radical and traumatic, so much so that historians may expect back at this time and wonder why at that place weren't more murders and rebellions, just as information technology is shocking today to consider how few slave rebellions at that place were.
  • Mark Ames, Going Postal: Rage, Murder and Rebellion: From Reagan'due south Workplaces to Clinton'due south Columbine and Across (2005), p. 87

• During the transition to the new Clinton assistants, Madeleine Albright famously asked Gen. Colin Powell, then chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "What's the point of having this superb war machine you're always talking about if nosotros can't utilise it?" In 1999, as secretary of state under Bill Clinton, Albright got her wish, running fell over the United nations Charter with an illegal war to cleave out an independent Kosovo from the ruins of Yugoslavia... When U.K. Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told Albright his government was "having trouble with our lawyers" over NATO'due south illegal state of war plan, Albright crassly told him to "go new lawyers."...
  Twenty-two years subsequently, Kosovo is the third-poorest state in Europe (subsequently Moldova and postal service-insurrection Ukraine) and its independence is still non recognized by 96 countries. Hashim Thaçi, Albright'due south hand-picked main ally in Kosovo and later its president, is pending trial in an international courtroom at the Hague, charged with murdering at to the lowest degree 300 civilians under comprehend of NATO bombing in 1999 to extract and sell their internal organs on the international transplant market. Clinton and Albright's gruesome and illegal war set the precedent for more than illegal U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Republic of iraq, Libya, Syria and elsewhere, with as devastating and horrific results.

• Did NATO take problems? Of course. Not for nil was Henry Kissinger'due south famous 1965 work entitled The Troubled Partnership: A Reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance. The listing of NATO's deficiencies was long, including, afterwards the Soviet Union'due south 1991 plummet, the feckless abandonment by several European members of their responsibility to provide for their own self-defense. Under President Clinton, America suffered its own military declines, every bit he and others saw the plummet of Communism as "the end of history," slashing defense budgets to spend on politically beneficial domestic welfare programs. This "peace dividend" illusion never ended in much of Europe, simply it ended in America with the September 11 mass murders in New York and Washington past Islamicist terrorists. NATO'southward hereafter has been intensely debated among national-security experts for decades, with many urging a broader post-Cold War agenda. Barack Obama criticized NATO members for beingness "complimentary riders," not spending adequately on their own defence budgets, but, typically, he had simply graced the earth with his views, doing zip to see them carried out.

I of the high military machine officers said 'that ways one bullet for every kid'. Within the first month of the intifada, they killed about 70 people.

• Right from the outset, when the Bill Cosby [sexual assaults] scandal surfaced, I knew information technology was not going to bode well for Hillary's campaign, considering young women today accept a much lower threshold for tolerance of these matters. The horrible truth is that the feminist institution in the U.S., led past Gloria Steinem, did in fact apply a double standard to Bill Clinton's behavior because he was a Democrat. The Democratic president and administration supported abortion rights, and therefore it didn't affair what his personal behavior was.
  Merely we're living in a different time right now, and young women have absolutely no memory of Neb Clinton. Information technology's like ancient history for them; at that place'due south no reservoir of accumulated good will. And the actual facts of the matter are that Bill Clinton was a series abuser of working-class women–he had exploited that power differential even in Arkansas. And then in the case of Monica Lewinsky–I mean, the failure on the part of Gloria Steinem and company to protect her was an accented disgrace in feminist history! What bigger power differential could there exist than between the president of the United States and this poor innocent daughter? Not merely an intern but clearly a girl who had a kind of pleading, open up await to her–somebody who was looking for a begetter figure.

• The cracking media lie in the 1992 balloter campaign is that Clinton, dissimilar earlier Democratic presidential candidates, has moved from the "left" to the "middle" of the political spectrum, and besides that unlike earlier presidential candidates he is not beholden to left-wing special interests. The fact is that they tried the same nonsense in the Dukakis campaign in 1988, and they were not successful in fooling too many people. Clinton's "moderation" and "business friendly" views consist of his promotion of "investments." Only these "investments" have mysteriously been redefined to consist of regime spending! The electric current media narrative claims that the U.s.a. economy is losing productivity, and that what is needed to ameliorate productivity is higher taxes (!) and increased government spending on "infrastructure"—that is to say, more money wasted on authorities roads and more coin for schools which serve mostly as indoctrination camps.

• This whole thing about not kicking someone when they are down is BS. Not only do you kick him, you kick him until he passes out — then beat him over the head with a baseball game bat, then whorl him upwardly in an old rug, and throw him off the cliff into the pound[ing] surf below!
  • Michael Scanlon, in an electronic mail in reference to Bill Clinton'due south existence politically "down" while he was called before a grand jury during the Lewinsky scandal.

• On a more serious note, one of the major differences between the two presidents dealt with partisan politics. President Clinton had reached out to the Republican Party in an effort to have bipartisan legislation and bipartisan views of the different issues that would be required. He further extended that mitt by selecting Senator William Cohen, a Republican, to be his Secretary of Defense. Contrast that with the incoming administration of President Bush, which was filled with a number of neocons and had an intense distaste- and distrust- for anybody who was associated with either a prior administration or the Democratic Party in general, in spit of their high levels of expertise and experience. I'm talking most midlevel and low-level positions that required a nomination or an appointment to be made past the President. If they had touched the Democratic Party in whatsoever style or if they had worked in a prior Democratic administration, they could forget it because they only weren't going to be considered in any capacity. Information technology's also bad considering he lost a large number of elevation people who would have been loyal, dedicated workers- but it was not to exist. From my standpoint, it was disruptive to good government. Long gone were the days of a bipartisan view of what was all-time for America, which made it a very distasteful environment.
