Our Nation Has A Diverse And Extremely

I Cannot Imagine Any Other Country In The World Where The Opposition Would Seek, And The Chief Executive Would Allow, The Dissemination Of His Most Private And Personal Conversations With His Staff, Which, To Be Honest, Do Not Exactly Confer Sainthood On Anyone Concerned.

I Believe That Truth Is The Glue That Holds Government Together, Not Only Our Government But Civilization Itself. That Bond, Though Strained, Is Unbroken At Home And Abroad. In All My Public And Private Acts As Your President, I Expect To Follow My Instincts Of Openness And Candor With Full Confidence That Honesty Is Always The Best Policy In The End.

My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare Is Over. Our Constitution Works; Our Great Republic Is A Government Of Laws And Not Of Men. Here The People Rule. But There Is A Higher Power, By Whatever Name We Honor Him, Who Ordains Not Only Righteousness But Love, Not Only Justice But Mercy.
