I Cannot Imagine Any Other Country In

The Tough Decisions That A President Has To Make In The Oval Office Are In No Way Related To The Capability Of A Person To Do Well On Television. On The Other Hand, The Capability Of A Person To Project Favorably On Television Enhances That Person's Odds Of Being Elected So He Can Serve In The Oval Office. So You Can't Ignore The Talents, One, To Be Very Effective On Television, And On The Other Hand, To Be Very Effective As An Operating President.

In A Political Sense, There Is One Problem That Currently Underlies All Of The Others. That Problem Is Making Government Sufficiently Responsive To The People. If We Don't Make Government Responsive To The People, We Don't Make It Believable. And We Must Make Government Believable If We Are To Have A Functioning Democracy.

I Do Believe That The Buck Stops Here, That I Cannot Rely Upon Public Opinion Polls To Tell Me What Is Right. I Do Believe That Right Makes Might And That If I Am Wrong, 10 Angels Swearing I Was Right Would Make No Difference. I Do Believe, With All My Heart And Mind And Spirit, That I, Not As President But As A Humble Servant Of God, Will Receive Justice Without Mercy If I Fail To Show Mercy.

The Veto Is A President's Constitutional Right, Given To Him By The Drafters Of The Constitution Because They Wanted It As A Checkagainst Irresponsible Congressional Action. The Veto Forces Congress To Take Another Look At Legislation That Has Been Passed. I Think This Is A Responsible Tool For A President Of The United States, And I Have Sought To Use It Responsibly.

I Hope Never To See The Day That I Cannot Admit Having Made A Mistake.
