President Bill Clinton, in criticizing Republicans, made the following utterance: "On the other side, they complain about government all the time. They set it up as the enemy; it's government versus the people. The last time I checked, the Constitution said, 'Of the people, by the people and for the people.' That's what the Declaration of Independence says." Neither document contains that phrase, since it was coined generations later by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address.

[Ed.: ABC science reporter Michael Guillen on "Good Morning America," January 21, 1997: "For Americans, 'the pursuit of happiness' is not just a slogan. It's written into our Bill of Rights. But what exactly is happiness?"]
