(PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- Now for the first time on DVD, President Clinton's historic addresses before the U.S. Congress(1993-2000), included in their entirety in this exclusive 4-Disc Collection.
These powerful presentations not only captivated worldwide audiences and earned America's 42nd Chief Executive praise (from admirers and adversaries alike) as one of the most gifted public speakers ever to approach the Presidential podium. In serving as an annual communications centerpiece for the Clinton Administration, these are the pressure-packed moments that ultimately changed our nation and the world.
What They Said:
"Our nation needs a new direction .... The conditions which brought us to this point are well known. Two decades of low productivity and stagnant wages; persistent unemployment and underemployment; years of huge government deficits and declining investment in our future; exploding health care costs, and lack of coverage; legions of poor children; educational and job training opportunities inadequate to the demands of a high wage, high growth economy."
- President William Jefferson Clinton, 1993 State of the Union Address
"We are fortunate to be alive at this moment in history ... We begin the new century with over 20 million new jobs; the fastest economic growth in more than 30 years; the lowest unemployment rates in 30 years; the lowest poverty rates in 20 years; the lowest African American and Hispanic unemployment rates on record; the first back-to-back budget surpluses in 42 years. And next month, America will achieve the longest period of economic growth in our entire history. And our economic revolution has been matched by a revival of the American spirit: crime down by 20 percent, to its lowest level in 25 years; teen births down seven years in a row; adoptions up by 30 percent; welfare rolls cut in half to their lowest levels in 30 years. My fellow Americans, the state of our union is the strongest it has ever been.
- President William Jefferson Clinton, 2000 State of the Union Address
"The Democrats leapt to their feet, cheering. (House Speaker Newt) Gingrich paused for a discernible instant - then he too, stood, applauding. The Republicans looked at Gingrich and then at each other. Then they stood and applauded. In that instant, a trillion dollars silently shifted on the budget ledger from the column marked "tax cut" to the column marked "Social Security".
The President had gained the upper hand in the fiscal debates that would dominate the last years of his term. The presidential pulpit had never been put to more effective use."
- White House Speechwriter Michael Waldman, author of POTUS Speaks, on the 1998 State of the Union Address
"(The State of the Union speech) was vintage Clinton, a style by now familiar for the breadth of the subject-matter, the jazz-like riffs of rhetoric, the lectern-jabbing gestures and the easy segues from policy detail to moral passion." - Dan Balz, Washington Post, 1994
