On the recordAugust 30, 1996
Well, I think--there's a sign on the side of your bus; it's a quote of Bill Cosby's that I just love. He says, ``I don't know the secret of success. But I know the secret of failure is trying to please everybody.'' And I have always believed that in public life, when you were given an office, you should outline the major challenges and go after them and really try to get something done. And you should enlist the energies of people and try to bring them together and do it. And I have always had a certain core of people who have opposed me. When I was Governor of my State, I got elected five times and would regularly get nearly two-thirds of the vote. There would always be a core of people who were intensely opposed to my policies. Ms. Soren. But people didn't necessarily like Reagan's policies, either, but it didn't seem to get as personal. Do you think it has to do with your generation?
