On the recordApril 23, 1996
I have concluded that he is not setting a good example for the people whom he serves. Basically, I mean that he does not perform in office commensurate with the rhetoric. This also soon becomes an issue of the failure to show moral leadership, which basically means that you do what you say you are going to do. It is the single most important attribute of any President. One of his President leadership flaws is the fact that he says one thing and yet does another. I quoted from last week's Time magazine article, which quoted the President's senior adviser, George Stephanopoulos. His quote was just three words: 'Words are actions.' So if the President says something, that means that is what people know he is going to do. In other words, you say something, the President either thinks it is happening or he wants us to think it is happening.
