The U.S. President Bill Clinton is the Great Absorber. Clinton soaks up the rhetoric of the right, the left, his friends and foes, melds it together and tosses it right back at them. When Clinton talks about welfare reform he adopts the tough talk. Those who work with Clinton swear up and down he's genuine, that to him welfare reform is an antipoverty program. "Listen," one White House aide says, "if we can get day care, health care and a jobs program for poor people by calling it "welfare reform" so be it."
