And even in his first Inaugural Address, he made a commitment not to try to abolish slavery. And then he, for a long time, had all kinds of legal problems about how much he could do and how far he could go. My staff actually gave me that. You know, I collect old books about America.

Are there things like that you're to avoid, or did that bother you?”
