Boo F'n Hoo- Clinton not getting enough "credit"

What?  Impeachment wasn't enough? I WANT MORE CREDIT...

After signing the welfare bill (1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act) Clinton almost immediately boarded the campaign train which would take him to the Democrat National Convention.    He promised from the train's platform at various stops,  that if reelected he would revoke this onerous welfare bill. “ .“I go crazy every time I read the conventional wisdom,” he said Friday night at his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark. “So part of the Republican narrative is that I was ‘saved’ from myself by the election of the Republican Congress [in 1994] that ‘forced me’ to do welfare reform and ‘made the balanced budget possible.’” Clinton said reporters and commentators “keep saying this, overlooking all relevant facts.”  At the federal level, he said 43 states received federal waivers to implement welfare reform before the GOP-controlled House passed the final bill. “And yet I kept reading how this was ‘a Republican idea,’ just because President Reagan had a good story about a welfare queen and a Cadillac who didn’t exist,” Clinton said. [Clinton sick and tirered of not getting the credit he deserves] ” The Clinton economy was in fact moribund until the newly elected Republican congressional majority enacted several tax cutting bills, look it up.  Here's a rough time line of "his welfare reform" performance. Promised during the 1992 campaign  to "end welfare as we know it." Takes office in Jan 1993 Never mentions welfare reform. Republicans take control of congress in 1995 Clinton  vetoes two similar welfare reform bills Adviser Dick Morris advises him to sign the third one Immediately vows to roll it back. Here's something I found very interesting.  Scan this 1996 AP article  Provisions of the 1996 Welfare Bill.   How many of the provisions are observed today?  What happened?
