Bill Clinton (William Clinton) Quotes
I liked working with Republicans. We had five pretty good years after we had that bad year in '95 that culminated in two government shutdowns. But then they really decided that they liked being in the majority for the first time in forty years, and they wanted to get some things done, and I agreed, to get things I wanted. It was all perfectly transparent. Everybody knew what they wanted and what I wanted.

Talk to them, get them to explain what their reasons are, and show them to people. What's wrong with this idea?!
