I want to thank again all the people from Chicago for coming. I want to say how proud--I can't help but say that all the people that I know, and I know half the town from the little community in southeast Arkansas where Scottie Pippen grew up, are still wildly proud of him. So it's okay for somebody outside Chicago to like that. And I want to say to Michael Jordan, I like your two-tone shoes. [Laughter] When I was growing up, all well-bred young Southern boys learned to wear two-tone shoes in the springtime--[laughter]--and I'm glad you kept up the tradition. And finally, I'd like to thank the Bulls for being so good to Hillary when she visited them at the United Center recently. And that night, she got Dennis Rodman's jersey. It is now freshly washed and hanging in the White House in a place of honor. Thank you very much.
