Remarks at a reception for Representative Pete Peterson in Panama City

Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, Sept 16, 1996

We really have succeeded in replacing the politics of blame in Washington with the politics of "What are we going to do about it?" and that's good. But we've got 60 days to go. And if you want 4 more years, and if you want us to go into the 21st century with the American dream alive for everybody, and if you're willing to rear back and fight, then remember this: You cannot have 4 more years without 60 more days.

Thank you, and God bless you.

NOTE: The President spoke at approximately 7:30 p.m. in the Student Union East Building at Gulf Coast Community College.
