On the recordNovember 7, 1993
I don't have an instinct. Let me just say this: What I have determined to do is to get up every day and do what I think is right and try to move this country forward and keep the commitments I made to the American people and follow it through with real conviction and just let everything else happen. I can't control a lot of the events. But I do think it is astonishing to me, and I take this on myself maybe more than you, but that--is to go back to Al Gore's line in the campaign, ``What should be up is up; what should be down is down.'' We're moving in the right direction, and people should know that. And if they don't, then I have to examine why they don't. But perhaps you do, too. Mr. Russert. Mr. President, we have to take a break. We'll be right back after this break. [The television stations took a commercial break.] Mr. Russert. We're back with the President. Tom Brokaw, you have a question. President's Health Mr. Brokaw. Even in the Oval Office, you can hear the local protest outside about firefighters or something in Washington, DC. You know that it is like living in a fishbowl here. Comedians have had a lot of fun with the fact that you run every day, but you don't seem to lose any weight. In fact, what can you tell us about your personal health? Have you lost weight?
