Dana Rohrabacher: “I draw Members' attention to President Bush and the great job that he has been doing withstanding public pressure to go…”

“I draw Members' attention to President Bush and the great job that he has been doing withstanding public pressure to go in the opposite direction of which he believes to be true. We have a sense about what George W. is about; and I believe that George W. is proving himself to be a great president and that, as time goes on, we will find that this gentleman, who has been castigated by his opponents in some very vile characterizations, is actually a very thoughtful person, and a person of high character, and a person of strength. President George W. Bush has been willing to say things straight, in a straightforward manner that has enraged his political opposition, but yet by standing strong and tall, like President Reagan before him, who was also attacked in very personal and vile terms, our new president is finding that if he stands strong, that people will go in his direction.”
