We dragged you along kicking and screaming BUMP!

Slick Willy taking credit for the Republicans' "Contract With America." How sad that man has become.

[satchmodog9]

Thanks. What an ahole he is. Here he takes credit for getting all these people off welfare. At the same time, Bush is criticized for an economy that employs people at Walmart. Me thinks these are the same people in a lot of cases. Funny how the RATs get away with always playing both sides of an issue.

Third time is a charm or I buckled after all the pressure.

[NonValueAdded]

Desperation for a legacy bump. Pathetic!

[Sprite518]

Yeah Bill you really wanted this... LOL! I think you did it after Republican sweep in 94. Now you are trying to take credit for it. LOL!

[katieanna]

Why is Clinton writing this op-ed now? Is there a current discussion about welfare (reform) that I missed?

[doberville]

So, Bub, why are you telling us all this now? Afraid you've become irrevelant. . .or pimping for that sanctimonious sow of yours?

[TexasCajun]

Algore must not have told Slick about his invention and something called Lexus-Nexis.

I'm sure the hands at EIB will have found plenty of Slick's quotes for El Rushbo to use today.

[Perdogg]

Did he mention in his op-ed he signed welfare reform the day before the democratic convention in Chicago started?

[RayStacy]

Yes, he vetoed it 2 or 3 times, then the elections were coming, Dick Morris said "One more time and you're unemployed," the almost unchanged bill hits his desk, and viola, he gets religion. Unbelievable.

[maggief]

He manages to get "my" and "I" into the first sentence.

Sixty percent of mothers who left welfare found work

This stat would be stated as "40% of mothers who were forcibly removed from the welfare rolls have been unable to find work to support their families" if it was a Republican speaker.

[DoctorMichael]

What a bunch of crap. Newt dragged him kicking and screaming the whole way.

[TruthWillWin]

Bill searching for a legacy. Has about as much credibility as his real legacy, "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss L...(point finger)...."

[Coldwater Creek]

In the middle of the night!!!!!!

This idiot has been a pain in the rear in our part of the country for the almost 30 years. Why does it never fail to amaze me how arrogant he is?

[Mr. Brightside]

This stat would be stated as "40% of mothers who were forcibly removed from the welfare rolls have been unable to find work to support their families" if it was a Republican speaker.

Good catch.

[the invisib1e hand]

welfare is alive and well. or perhaps they're all well established as coke dealers, pimps, bookies, political activists, and urban studies majors by now. Off welfare, into small businesshood.
