not raise
the taxes on a working man and woman in this country.
Read my lips.
No new taxes.
Read my lips, no new taxes.
Read my lips, no new taxes.
The flexible freeze will get the deficit gone by,
you know, 91 or 92.
Well, today's unemployment figures show the
economy is moving in the right direction.
The economy is strengthening.
The economy is on the right track.
I'm not prepared to
say we're in recession.
It does not fit the definition of recession.
It is not recession.
It is not recession.
This recession is far less deep than the previous
recession.
I think I've known,
look, this economy's been free fall.
Duh. I probably have made mistakes in assessing
the fact that the economy would recover.
The negotiators are free to discuss a wide array of options,
including tax increases.
Read my lips.
No new taxes.
I was wrong. I was wrong.
I was wrong. I was wrong.

My stand is this
I oppose abortion
I oppose federal funding of abortion,
except in the case of rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
I do not favor repeal of the
Constitution in that regard.
What you're saying is this shows that I supported
federal funding if there was rape or incest, I think.
And I don't recall that,
but if it's there, fine.
That's not my position now.
And I don't recall it as be
ing my position then.
I don't favor a federal amendment
to overthrow the
Supreme
Court de cision, and I am firmly
positioned in favor of,
you know, overturn of
Roe v. and that's my position.
I'm not going to change that position.
You know, there has been, I have to make a confession,
an evolution in my position.

Come on
Michael, give us a break there
I want to be the
education president.
I don't care about my personal label.
I am committed to education,
although budget dollars are very tight.
Education is so important to me that I've
increased funding.
Dollar bills don't educate students.
People coming out of col lege that can't read and
have the level of literacy in this country
abominably low I've proposed a
college savings bond to help young people save
for that expense so that you can afford to
send your college to children

Everything I did last year was the purpose of advancing my,
everything I did politically,
advancing my election.
Voters know the difference between a sound
bite and sound policy.
Let's not kid ourselves, we're in a tough fight,
but you know me, I don't seek unnecessary
conflict.
I fight to win, and I am determined to win,
and I will win.
When I want to feel a surge of patriotism,
or turn nostalgic, or even when I need a little
free advice about
Saddam
Hussein, I turn to country music.
You run for cover, get under the bush like a quail,
and hope that you don't get flushed
out for a while.
Read my lips, read my lips, read my lips, read my lips,
read my lips, read my lips, read my lips.
People said to me the other day,
do you think the president knew about
Watergate?
I said, he didn't know about
Watergate.
They said, how do you know?
I said, because I believe the president
and I believe in the presidency.
Easy.
Free the body,
Mike.
Free the body,
Mike.
