There Was A Little Bit Of Ham

And On Election Night I'd Go Down To City Hall In El Paso, Texas And Cover The Election. In Those Days, Of Course, We Didn't Have Exit Polls. You Didn't Know Who Had Won The Election Until They Actually Counted The Votes. I Thought That Was Exciting Too.

In 27 Years Of Reporting From Washington, I've Never Heard A President Admit He Made A Mistake.

But In 1941, On December 8th, After The Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor, My Mother Bought A Radio And We Listened To The War News. We'd Not Had A Radio Up To That Time. I Was Born In 1934, So I Was Seven Years Of Age.

So When I Cover The President, I Try To Remember Two Things: First, If You Don't Ask, You Don't Find Out; And Second, The Questions Don't Do The Damage. Only The Answers Do.

Let's Face It: Many On The Political Right Believe This President Ought Not To Be There - They Oppose Him Not For His Polices And Political View But For Who He Is, An African American!
