                          THOSE STUBBORN FACTS

  (Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, facts are stubborn things.
  Bill Clinton was elected with a minority of voters, 43 percent, fewer 
votes than Michael Dukakis got when he lost to George Bush in a rout.
  Bill Clinton had his policies overwhelmingly rejected nationwide 2 
years later when both the House and Senate went Republican for the 
first time in 40 years.
  Bill Clinton has been rejected by over 150 elected officials, elected 
with a minority of 150 of voters, officials, including six Members of 
Congress who have left his own party since he has taken office.
  Bill Clinton has said publicly in a variety of occasions that he 
would balance the Federal budget in 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 years.
  Bill Clinton, in his first State of the Union Address, pointedly 
chided House Republicans by saying he would force truth in budgeting by 
using CBO scoring numbers.
  Now he would have us and the people of this country believe and trust 
him and believe that he represents what the people of America want.

  Absolutely amazing.
