I want to put this in a little context, because I spoke before high school government and economics classes at one of my high schools in my district, Laura High School, yesterday morning. And I have been back to my district the last four weekends in a row. I can also add that coming home last week I came through Oregon, I am going up to Santa Barbara all day Saturday next, and in just the last few weeks I have been in Illinois and Florida and Pennsylvania, just last week campaigning for candidates of my party, or in the case of Pennsylvania for all of the candidates that were up for reelection yesterday in Pennsylvania. And questions are coming up regularly about the President's character.
