I think I'm most proud that we've been able to pull the country together and give people a sense that we're going in the right direction again. I'm proud of the opportunities that millions of Americans have had to live out their dreams and shape their destinies and take care of their children. I'm proud of the fact that we have faced the tough challenges that our country has, instead of dodging them. I'm proud of the fact that--I think Americans have a lot of confidence now that we can deal with all the things that are before us and move into the future in a very good way. I'm proud of all that. I'm just grateful that I have the chance to serve and that we've got almost a quarter of our time left to get some of the things done that I very much want to do before it's over. Mr. Jackson. Isn't that expression ``lame duck'' a painful one? A quarter of your time still remains.
