Who am I quoting when I refer to Mr X?

Medicare:

We propose to let (Medicare) go up at 2 times the rate of inflation...when you hear all this business about cuts, let me caution you that it is not what is going on" - Mr X's proposal on Medicare.

"They are cutting Medicare" - On the very same proposal when voted on by Republicans.

"It is a $270 billion cut in Medicare" - Mr X on the very same proposal when voted on by Republicans.

Taxes:

"I will tell you this: I will not raise taxes on the middle-class to pay for these programs."

"It might surprise you to know I think I raised them too much but I am a mathematician at heart."

A short time later: "I take full responsibility...for what we did. It was the right thing to do."

"I have no intention of raising taxes"

Welfare:

"And I have a plan to do even better, to end welfare as we know it" - The man(who vetoed the welfare reform bill passed by the Rebublican congress and later signed it taking credit for it)

Campaign Finance Reform:

"I am committed to curbing the influence of money in our political system."

Oddly enough it was Mr X selling the Lincoln Bedroom to big money donors.

The Scandals

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" - Mr X

"Indeed I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong" - Mr X

Lying

"If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people he should resign." - Mr X running for US Representative in 1974

"I misled people" - Mr X in the Lewinsky address. (Translation: I lied to the American people)

"I issued a number of denials to people I thought needed to hear them" - Mr X, Grand Jury Testimony (Translation: I wanted to cover it up so I lied to you- even under oath)

"I am trying to be honest with you and it hurts me. Now..."

Mr X's Grand Jury Testimony (We know all too well)
