“Because I think that--I made a decision that--the most important thing we could have is a good advocate, is a person I knew, had great confidence in, and had real access to the White House and a real chance to influence me and my decisions.

So I think that the people who are here can answer the question better than me. Thank you. Note. The President spoke at 1:55 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.”
