--Bill Clinton

*

‘I put my wallet on the table for you and your children.’

--Ross Perot

*

‘I am a job creator, not a job destroyer. It is the Bush Administration that has had no new jobs in the private sector in the last four years.’

--Clinton

*

‘I’ve lived the American dream. I’d like for your children to be able to live it too.’

--Perot

*

‘You can’t have it both ways. There’s a pattern here of appealing to the auto workers and then trying to appeal to the spotted-owl crowd or the extremes in the environmental movement.’

‘I have studied these trade agreements until the world has gone flat, and we don’t have good trade agreements across the world.’

--Perot
