Clinton saved social welfare programs? This will be news to those who were forced off welfare roles during his tenure. He signed a welfare reform bill after his pollsters told him most American favored welfare reform. The two party system was alive (sarcasm) when Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and from time to time the Presidency. It appears the two party system only works if Democrats are in complete control. President Bush is trying to destroy Democratic election chances....I thought that was what you were supposed to do. It's called politics.

The fact of the matter was, the republican congress had made welfare reform a key issue, and they were going to bludgeon him with it. Clinton fought as much as could, then signed off, and claimed the credit from both sides.
The person who actually gave him the polling numbers and also told him how to spin it, and make it look good and get credit from people that work and people on welfare was Dick Morris.
