Presidential Remarks
Campaign Rally
Cincinnati, Ohio
August 27, 1992
Good afternoon everyone -- and thanks for this warm
Cincinnati welcome.
I want to mention some of our special guests -- the man with
the 50,000 watt voice -- Mike McMurray. Olympians Joe Hudepohl
(HEW dah poll) and Tim Austin. And, of course, the guy behind
the plate -- Johnny Bench.
Joe and Tim and Johnny know something about competition --
let me tell you -- this year's campaign is about competition --
how America can win the economic competition -- win the peace.
Our nation is anxious today -- we have many questions about
our future. Two candidates have stepped forward with two
different agendas, two different ideas -- of how to build a
stronger, more secure America -- abroad and at home.
Here's what I believe:
I believe that bureaucracy doesn't know best -- people know
better.
I believe that the long arm of government is no match for
the invisible hand of free enterprise.
I believe that people shouldn't keep government well fed --
government should empower people -- so that they can feed
themselves.
2
Just as you can't build a home without a hammer, you can't
build a dream without a job. You need to know which candidate
has a plan to fulfill your dreams -- I have the plan that works
for America.
My plan starts with the idea that the federal government
spends too much of your money -- and the deficit is a dark storm
cloud, hovering over our children's future.
I've asked Congress to freeze domestic discretionary
spending -- and to get a handle on mandated spending. And to
take over 4,000 federal projects and 250 federal programs and
send them the way of pet rocks and mood rings. //
Congress has said no to my proposals -- so last week I put
forth a new idea.
I want to give you -- the taxpayer -- the power to take up
to 10 percent of your tax return -- and use it for one purpose
only -- to reduce the federal budget deficit.
When it comes to spending your money -- Congress is like
that Doritos commercial. They think they can crunch all they
want -- you'll pay more. If they can't watch their weight and
protect your money -- I say -- let's take the bag away from them.
How do we create jobs in America? Well, unlike my opponent,
I spent half my life in the private sector -- trying to meet a
payroll. I happen to believe that's a pretty good qualification
to be President. I've learned form real-world experience -- that
you can't have employees, without employers.
3
So with a new Congress we can cut spending, and then we will
cut your taxes -- to give families more money to spend, and
businesses more incentives to invest and create jobs.
I also want to get rid of all those crazy lawsuits. If you
fall off a step ladder today, a lawyer will be there to catch you
-- before you hit the ground. My opponent doesn't believe this
is a problem. Earlier this year, the head of the Arkansas Trial
Lawyers Association wrote a letter of endorsement for Governor
Clinton. He said, "I can never remember an occasion when he
failed to do the right thing where we trial lawyers are
concerned."
I don't want to coddle the trial lawyers, I want to take
them on. I believe that -- as a nation -- we must sue each other
less -- and care for each other more.//
My opponent proposes a backdoor government takeover of our
health care system. I believe we can control costs -- and extend
coverage to the poorest of the poor -- without putting your
health care under the control of the same people who brought you
the House Bank and the House Post Office./
Here's some other things I'm fighting for. Welfare reform
that encourages families to stick together, and fathers to stick
around. Job training to lend a helping hand to workers caught in
the transition of our economy.// And I want to revolutionize the
way we teach our children -- giving many American parents a new
freedom -- the freedom to choose where your kids should go to
4
school. Great public schools, or great private schools like St.
Xavier's. //
Where does my opponent stand on the issues? Well, as this
campaign gets underway, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
He's beginning to turn up in more places than Elvis Presley.
Take the question of whether to stand up to Saddam Hussein -
- the most important foreign policy decision of the past four
years.
Two days after Congress followed my lead, my opponent said
this, and I quote directly: "I guess I would have voted with the
majority if it was a close vote. But I agree with the arguments
the minority made."
In the Oval Office, when you have to make life and death
decisions -- you can't have it both ways -- not when people's
lives are stake. 11
How about the economy? My opponent says that "government
takes too little, and gives too much in return." But then he
proposes $220 billion in new spending -- plus the largest tax
increase in history -- $150 billion dollars.
When it comes to the economy, Governor Clinton offers --
"me-too slogans -- and you too taxes.
Look at the issue of a free trade treaty with Mexico and
Canada. It's a great way to help American companies compete in
the global economy. Companies like Star Bank, right across the
street.
5
My opponent was once for the trade treaty -- now, after
meeting with a few union bosses, he steps forward boldly and
courageously announces -- "when I have a definitive opinion, I'll
say so."
When you're President of the U.S. -- "I'll get back to ya" -
- is not an appropriate answer. //
One more example. A few months ago, Governor Clinton said
he wanted to raise fuel efficiency standards for cars to 45 miles
per gallon. It sounds like a good idea, but scientists will tell
you it is impractical, it will cost lives and most important, it
will throw 30,000 Ohioans out of work. Governor Clinton finally
figured this out, so on Friday, he sang a different tune. He
said -- and I quote -- "I never said that I didn't think there
was more than one way to do it, or that we shouldn't be flexible
in the way we approach it." Talk about going backwards? The
Bengals could use that kind of backpedalling in their
secondary./ /
Is there a pattern going on here? Will Governor Clinton say
anything to anybody? America can't afford doublespeak,
doubletalk, doubletime!/
Watching my opponent on the campaign trail, I'm reminded of
the story about the farmer and a certain farm animal. The animal
was so slippery -- that it kept slipping out of it's pen. One
day, the farmer went looking for it, and followed the animals
tracks all over creation. When the farmer returned, his wife
6
asked if he knew where it was. The farmer said, "yes mam, I
found him. He's on both sides of the fence."
Governor Clinton is trying to play hokey-pokey with the
American people. He puts his left foot in. he puts his left foot
out --- but don't kid yourself, it's you -- the American
taxpayers -- who are going to be shaken all about!"
Now I know the polls say that I'm behind in this race, but I
don't listen to the polls, because I'm going to talk about what's
right for America. The special interests may not like it, but
I'm going to fight for free trade -- because it means American
jobs.// The trial lawyers may make a bundle off our legal system
-- but I'm going to make them quake in their tasselled loafers.
The bureaucrats and "government-firsters" may cry out for
more spending, and higher taxes -- I'm going to go the other way
-- because I'm going to do what is right to get this economy
moving again.
In the past four years, we have seen changes around the
world we never would have imagined. Now lets roll up our sleeves
and get to work -- and realize the opportunities in those
changes. Let's send Governor Clinton and his doubletalk back to
Arkansas. Give me Mike Devine in the U.S. Senate -- let's Clean
House on Capitol Hill.//
We can build a stronger and more secure America -- both
abroad and at home.
Thank you very much for listening. God Bless Cincinnati,
and God Bless the United States of America.

fall off a step ladder today, a lawyer will be there to catch you
-- before you hit the ground. We must sue each other less -- and
care for each other more.
My opponent proposes a backdoor government takeover of our
health care system. I believe we can control costs -- and extend
coverage to the poorest of the poor -- without putting your
health care under the control of the same people who brought you
the House Bank and the House Post Office.
Here's some other things I'm fighting for. Welfare reform
that encourages families to stick together, and fathers to stick
around. Job training to lend a helping hand to workers caught in
the transition of our economy. And I want to revolutionize the
way we teach our children -- giving many American parents a new
freedom -- the freedom to choose where your kids should go to
school. 11
Where does my opponent stand on the issues? Well, as this
campaign gets underway, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
He's beginning to turn up in more places then Elvis Presley.
Take the question of whether to stand up to Saddam Hussein -
- the most important foreign policy decision of the past four
years.
Two days after Congress followed my lead, my opponent said
this, and I quote directly: "I guess I would have voted with the
majority if it was a close vote. But I agree with the arguments
the minority made.'
You've seen that sign along the side of the road --
"slippery when wet.
The economy? My opponent says that "government takes too
little, and gives too much in return. N But then he proposes
$220 billion in new spending -- plus the largest tax increase in
American history -- $150 billion dollars.
When it comes to the economy, Governor Clinton offers -- "me
too slogans -- and you too taxes. "
Two days ago, my opponent appeared before the American
Legion -- to talk about why he didn't serve in Vietnam, and to do
a distinct imitation of a bear -- a "pander bear.
On his military service, Governor Clinton said -- and again
I quote: "If my number had been called, I would have served, and
gone to Vietnam if so ordered." But he didn't even deal with
questions about whether he submitted himself to the draft, after
he knew there was no chance of him being drafted. And he said
nothing about a line in a letter he wrote to his ROTC recruiter -
A letter that desribed him -- and I quote -- "loathing the
military."
Do you see a pattern developing here?
Look at the issue of a free trade treaty with Mexico and
Canada. It's a great way to help American companies compete in
the global economy. Companies like Star Bank, right across the
street.
My opponent was once strongly for the trade tready -- now,
after meeting with a few union bosses, he steps forward boldly
and courageously announces -- "when I have a definitive opinion,
I'll say SO.
A few months ago, he said he wanted to raise fuel efficiency
standards for cars -- throwing 30,000 Ohioans out of work. Then
just last Friday, he backpedalled faster than a Bengals defensive
back. On the whole issue of raising fuel standards Governor
Clinton said, "I never said that I didn't think there was more
than one way to do it, or that we shouldn't be flexible in the
way we approach it.' (You figure out what that means!)
Watching my opponent on the campaign trail, I'm reminded of
the story about the farmer and his pig. The pig was so slippery
-- that it kept slipping out of it's pen. One day, the farmer
went looking for it, and followed the pig's tracks all over
creation. When the farmer returned, his wife asked if he knew
where the pig was. The farmer said, "yes man, I found him. He's
on both sides of the fence.'
Governor Clinton is trying to play hokey-pokey with the
American people. He puts his left foot in, he puts his left foot
out but don't kid yourself, it's you -- the American taxpayer
-- who are going to be shaken all about!
Now I know the polls say that I'm behind in this race, but I
don't listen to the polls, because I'm going to talk about
what's right for America.
The special interests may not like it, but I'm going to
fight for free trade -- because it means American jobs.
The trial lawyers may make a bundle off our legal system --
but I'm going to make them quake in their tasselled loafers.
The bureaucrats and "government-firsters" may cry out for
more spending, and higher taxes -- I'm going to go the other way
-- because I'm going to do what is right to get this economy
moving again.
In past four years, we have seen changes around the world we
never would have imagined. Now lets roll up our sleeves and get
to work -- and realize the opportunities in those changes.
Let's send Governor Clinton waffling back to Arkansas -- and
Clean House in Congress -- so that we can build a stronger and
more secure America -- both abroad and at home.
Thank you very much for listening. God Bless Cincinnati,
and God Bless the United States of America.

Cincinnati, Ohio
August 27, 1992
Good afternoon everyone -- and thanks for this warm
Cincinatti welcome.
I want to mention some of our special guests -- the man with
the 50,000 watt voice -- Mike McMurray. Olympians Joe Hudepohl
(ph.) and Tim Austin. And, of course, the guy behind the plate -
- Johnny Bench.
Joe and Tim and Johnny know something about competition --
let me tell you -- this year's campaign is about competition --
how America can win the economic competition -- win the peace.
Our nation is anxious today -- we have many questions about
our future. Two candidates have stepped forward with two
different agendas, two different ideas -- of how to build a
stronger, more secure America -- abroad and at home.
Here's what I believe:
I believe that bureaucracy doesn't know best -- people know
better. 11
I believe that the long arm of government is no match for
the invisible hand of free enterprise. 11
I believe that people shouldn't keep government well fed --
government should empower people -- so that they can feed
themselves. //
Just as you can't build a home without a hammer, you can't
build a dream without a job. You need to know, which candidate
has a plan to fulfill your dreams -- I have the plan that works
for America. 11
My plan starts with the idea that the federal government
spends too much of your money -- and the deficit is a dark storm
cloud, hovering over our children's future.
I've asked Congress to freeze federal discretionary spending
-- to get a handle on mandated spending -- and to take over 4,000
federal projects and 250 federal programs and send them the way
of pet rocks and mood rings.
Congress has said no to my proposals -- so last week I put
forth a new new idea.
I want to give you -- the taxpayer -- the power to take up
to 10 percent of your tax return -- and use it for one purpose
only -- to reduce the federal budget deficit.
When it comes to spending your money -- Congress is like
that Doritos commercial. They think they can crunch all you want
-- you'll pay more. If they can't watch their weight and protect
your money -- I say -- lets take the bag away from them. //
How do we create jobs in America? Well, unlike my opponent,
I spent half my life in the private sector -- trying to meet a
payroll. I happen to believe that's a pretty good qualification
to be President. I've learned from real-world experience -- that
you can't have employees, without employers.
So with a new Congress, we will cut federal spending, and
then we will cut your taxes -- to give families more money to
spend, and businesses more incentives to invest and create jobs.
I also want to get rid of all those crazy lawsuits. If you
fall off a step ladder today, a lawyer will be there to catch you
-- before you hit the ground. We must sue each other less -- and
care for each other more.
My opponent proposes a backdoor government takeover of our
health care system. I believe we can control costs -- and extend

that encourages families to stick together, and fathers to stick

Ma'am

Good afternoon everyone -- and thanks for this warm
Cincinatti welcome.
I want to mention some of our special guests -- the man with
the 50,000 watt voice -- Mike McMurray. Olympians Joe Hudepohl
(ph.) and Tim Austin. And, of course, the guy behind the plate -
- Johnny Bench.
Joe and Tim and Johnny know something about competition --
let me tell you -- this year's campaign is about competition --
how America can win the economic competition -- win the peace.
Our nation is anxious today -- we have many questions about
our future. Two candidates have stepped forward with two
different agendas, two different ideas -- of how to build a
stronger, more secure America -- abroad and at home.
Here's what I believe:
I believe that bureaucracy doesn't know best -- people know
better. //
I believe that the long arm of government is no match for
the invisible hand of free enterprise. 11
I believe that people shouldn't keep government well fed --
government should empower people -- so that they can feed
themselves. //
Just as you can't build a home without a hammer, you can't
build a dream without a job. You need to know, which candidate
has a plan to fulfill your dreams -- I have the plan that works
for America. //
My plan starts with the idea that the federal government
spends too much of your money -- and the deficit is a dark storm
cloud, hovering over our children's future.
I've asked Congress to freeze federal discretionary spending
-- to get a handle on mandated spending -- and to take over 4,000
federal projects and 250 federal programs and send them the way
of pet rocks and mood rings.

When it comes to spending your money -- Congress is like
that Doritos commercial. They think they can crunch all you want
darp
-- you'll pay more. If they can't watch their weight and protect
your money -- I say -- lets take the bag away from them.
How do we create jobs in America? Well, unlike my opponent,
I spent half my life in the private sector -- trying to meet a
payroll. I happen to believe that's a pretty good qualification
to be President. I've learned from real-world experience -- that
you can't have employees, without employers.
So with a new Congress, we will cut federal spending, and
then we will cut your taxes -- to give families more money to
spend, and businesses more incentives to invest and create jobs.
I also want to get rid of all those crazy lawsuits. If you
fall off a step ladder today, a lawyer will be there to catch you
-- before you hit the ground. We must sue each other less -- and
care for each other more.
My opponent proposes a backdoor government takeover of our
health care system. I believe we can control costs -- and extend
coverage to the poorest of the poor -- without putting your
health care under the control of the same people who brought you
the House Bank and the House Post Office.
Here's some other things I'm fighting for. Welfare reform
that encourages families to stick together, and fathers to stick
around. Job training to lend a helping hand to workers caught in
the transition of our economy. And I want to revolutionize the
way we teach our children -- giving many American parents a new
freedom -- the freedom to choose where your kids should go to
school. //
Where does my opponent stand on the issues? Well, as this
campaign gets underway, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
He's beginning to turn up in more places then Elvis Presley.
Take the question of whether to stand up to Saddam Hussein -
- the most important foreign policy decision of the past four

A letter that desribed him -- and I quote -- "loathing the

Do you see a pattern developing here?)
Look at the issue of a free trade treaty with Mexico and
Canada. It's a great way to help American companies compete in
the global economy. Companies like Star Bank, right across the
street.
My opponent was once strongly for the trade tready -- now,
after meeting with a few union bosses, he steps forward boldly
and courageously announces -- "when I have a definitive opinion,
I'll say so.
A few months ago, he said he wanted to raise fuel efficiency

just last Friday, he backpedalled faster than a Bengals defensive

Good afternoon everyone -- and thanks for this warm
Cincinatti welcome.
I want to mention some of our special guests -- the man with
the 50,000 watt voice -- Mike McMurray. Olympians Joe Hudepohl
(ph.) and Tim Austin. And, of course, the guy behind the plate -
- Johnny Bench.
Joe and Tim and Johnny know something about competition --
let me tell you -- this year's campaign is about competition --
how America can win the economic competition -- win the peace.
Our nation is anxious today -- we have many questions about
our future. Two candidates have stepped forward with two
different agendas, two different ideas -- of how to build a

Here's what I believe:
I believe that bureaucracy doesn't know best -- people know

I believe that the long arm of government is no match for

themselves. //
Just as you can't build a home without a hammer, you can't
build a dream without a job. You need to know, which candidate
has a plan to fulfill your dreams -- I have the plan that works
for America. 11
My plan starts with the idea that the federal government
spends too much of your money -- and the deficit is a dark storm
cloud, hovering over our children's future.
I've asked Congress to freeze federal discretionary spending
-- to get a handle on mandated spending -- and to take over 4,000
federal projects and 250 federal programs and send them the way
of pet rocks and mood rings.
Congress has said no to my proposals -- so last week I put
forth a new new idea.
I want to give you -- the taxpayer -- the power to take up
to 10 percent of your tax return -- and use it for one purpose
only -- to reduce the federal budget deficit.
When it comes to spending your money -- Congress is like
that Doritos commercial. They think they can crunch all you want
-- you'll pay more. If they can't watch their weight and protect
your money -- I say -- lets take the bag away from them. //

Cincinnati, Ohio

Good afternoon everyone -- and thanks for this warm
Cincinatti welcome.
I want to mention some of our special guests -- the man with
the 50,000 watt voice -- Mike McMurray. Olympians Joe Hudepohl
(ph.) and Tim Austin. And, of course, the guy behind the plate -
- Johnny Bench.
Joe and Tim and Johnny know something about competition --
let me tell you -- this year's campaign is about competition --
how America can win the economic competition -- win the peace.
Our nation is anxious today -- we have many questions about
our future. Two candidates have stepped forward with two
different agendas, two different ideas -- of how to build a
stronger, more secure America -- abroad and at home.
Here's what I believe:
I believe that bureaucracy doesn't know best -- people know
better. //
I believe that the long arm of government is no match for
the invisible hand of free enterprise.
I believe that people shouldn't keep government well fed --
government should empower people -- so that they can feed
themselves. //
Just as you can't build a home without a hammer, you can't
build a dream without a job. You need to know, which candidate
has a plan to fulfill your dreams -- I have the plan that works
for America. //
My plan starts with the idea that the federal government
spends too much of your money -- and the deficit is a dark storm
cloud, hovering over our children's future.
I've asked Congress to freeze federal discretionary spending
-- to get a handle on mandated spending -- and to take over 4,000
federal projects and 250 federal programs and send them the way
of pet rocks and mood rings.
Congress has said no to my proposals -- so last week I put
forth a new new idea.
I want to give you -- the taxpayer -- the power to take up
to 10 percent of your tax return -- and use it for one purpose
only -- to reduce the federal budget deficit.
When it comes to spending your money -- Congress is like
that Doritos commercial. They think they can crunch all you want
-- you'll pay more. If they can't watch their weight and protect
your money -- I say -- lets take the bag away from them. //
How do we create jobs in America? Well, unlike my opponent,
I spent half my life in the private sector -- trying to meet a
payroll. I happen to believe that's a pretty good qualification
to be President. I've learned from real-world experience -- that
you can't have employees, without employers.
So with a new Congress, we will cut federal spending, and
then we will cut your taxes -- to give families more money to
spend, and businesses more incentives to invest and create jobs.
I also want to get rid of all those crazy lawsuits. If you
fall off a step ladder today, a lawyer will be there to catch you
-- before you hit the ground. We must sue each other less -- and
care for each other more.
My opponent proposes a backdoor government takeover of our
health care system. I believe we can control costs -- and extend
coverage to the poorest of the poor -- without putting your
health care under the control of the same people who brought you
the House Bank and the House Post Office.
Here's some other things I'm fighting for. Welfare reform
that encourages families to stick together, and fathers to stick
around. Job training to lend a helping hand to workers caught in
the transition of our economy. And I want to revolutionize the
way we teach our children -- giving many American parents a new
freedom -- the freedom to choose where your kids should go to
school. //
Where does my opponent stand on the issues? Well, as this
campaign gets underway, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
He's beginning to turn up in more places then Elvis Presley.
Take the question of whether to stand up to Saddam Hussein -
- the most important foreign policy decision of the past four
years.
Two days after Congress followed my lead, my opponent said
this, and I quote directly: "I guess I would have voted with the
majority if it was a close vote. But I agree with the arguments
the minority made."
You've seen that sign along the side of the road --
"slippery when wet.
Dren't
The economy? My opponent says that "government takes too
reversed?
these
little, and gives too much in return. " But then he proposes
$220 billion in new spending -- plus the largest tax increase in
American history -- $150 billion dollars.
When it comes to the economy, Governor Clinton offers -- "me
too slogans -- and you too taxes.
Two days ago, my opponent appeared before the American
Legion -- to talk about why he didn't serve in Vietnam, and to do
a distinct imitation of a bear -- a "pander bear.
On his military service, Governor Clinton said -- and again
I quote: "If my number had been called, I would have served, and
gone to Vietnam if so ordered." But he didn't even deal with
questions about whether he submitted himself to the draft, after
5
he knew there was no chance of him being drafted. And he said
nothing about a line in a letter he wrote to his ROTC recruiter -
A letter that desribed him -- and I quote -- "loathing the
military."
Do you see a pattern developing here?
Look at the issue of a free trade treaty with Mexico and
Canada. It's a great way to help American companies compete in
the global economy. Companies like Star Bank, right across the
street.
My opponent was once strongly for the trade tready -- now,
after meeting with a few union bosses, he steps forward boldly
and courageously announces -- "when I have a definitive opinion,
I'll say so.
A few months ago, he said he wanted to raise fuel efficiency
standards for cars -- throwing 30,000 Ohioans out of work. Then
just last Friday, he backpedalled faster than a Bengals defensive
back. On the whole issue of raising fuel standards Governor
Clinton said, "I never said that I didn't think there was more
than one way to do it, or that we shouldn't be flexible in the
way we approach it." (You figure out what that means!)
Watching my opponent on the campaign trail, I'm reminded of
the story about the farmer and his pig. The pig was so slippery
-- that it kept slipping out of it's pen. One day, the farmer
went looking for it, and followed the pig's tracks all over
creation. When the farmer returned, his wife asked if he knew
where the pig was. The farmer said, "yes mam, I found him. He's
on both sides of the fence.
Governor Clinton is trying to play hokey-pokey with the
American people. He puts his left foot in, he puts his left foot
out but don't kid yourself, it's you -- the American taxpayer
-- who are going to be shaken all about!
Now I know the polls say that I'm behind in this race, but I
don't listen to the polls, because I'm going to talk about
what's right for America.
The special interests may not like it, but I'm going to
fight for free trade -- because it means American jobs.
The trial lawyers may make a bundle off our legal system --
but I'm going to make them quake in their tasselled loafers.
The bureaucrats and "government-firsters" may cry out for
more spending, and higher taxes -- I'm going to go the other way
-- because I'm going to do what is right to get this economy
moving again.
In past four years, we have seen changes around the world we
never would have imagined. Now lets roll up our sleeves and get
to work -- and realize the opportunities in those changes.
Let's send Governor Clinton waffling back to Arkansas -- and
Clean House in Congress -- so that we can build a stronger and
more secure America -- both abroad and at home.
Thank you very much for listening. God Bless Cincinnati,
and God Bless the United States of America.
