On the recordJanuary 21, 1998
Well, I do. I think, first of all, it's a very--it's a future-oriented political philosophy that attempts to break the logjam between the 1980's and early nineties debate of the Republican position that Government is the enemy and the Democratic position is, sort of, Government is the solution if we do more of the same; we just need to do more. My position is we need a different kind of Government for a different kind of society and a different kind of world. And we need to focus more on giving people the tools they need to make the most of their own lives, more on being a catalyst for good ideas, more on empowering the disadvantaged, and creating opportunity, enforcing responsibility, building community. I think that's what ``Clintonism'' is about. And I think it will get us to the 21st century. Mr. Siegel. Mr. President, thank you very much for talking with us.
