I Think We Need To Get Back

You Have To Be An Optimist To Be In Politics.

We Have To Treasure Our Country, Our Freedom, The Progress We've Made, And If We See Any Of That Threatened, We Have To Respond.

I've Gone Through So Many Of These Stages Of Defeat And Loss And Victory, The Ups And Downs, That I Know How To Handle It.

Really, Life Is Complicated Enough Without Having A Bunch Of Senators Deciding What We Should Do In The Privacy Of Our Own Homes.

Even Though The Press At Times Made Me Completely Crazy As They Followed Me Around The Hall, And Asked Tough Questions Over And Over Again - Now Believe Me, Every Politician Feels This Way - It Is A Necessary Part Of Our Life, And We Must Have A Press That Isn't Cowed And Won't Be Afraid Of Ratings If They Get Put To The Back Of The Room At A Press Conference.
