Yes, but that's one reason I really work hard to get out into the country and to walk the streets. I went to New Hampshire last week, had a town meeting in Nashua, and then I walked the streets in Keene, New Hampshire, and just shook hands with people and talked to them and listened to them. When people come to see me in the White House, I always ask them what the cab drivers are talking about. Because it's so easy for the President to get out of touch with what real people are thinking. I mean, it's a wonderful life, but you can see it's not a normal life. So you get really isolated, and you have to work to avoid it. Mr. Jennings. One other thing I cannot help but to have noticed: There hasn't been a question this morning about Whitewater. We'll be right back. [Laughter] [The television stations took a commercial break.] Mr. Jennings. Well, we've got about a minute left, Mr. President.
