Political Quotes

“I hope and I think that the American people are not going to be taken in by the inconsistency that this President has displayed. I remember we were all sitting here the night when he said, ``The era of big government is over.'' But I recall a few minutes later in the same speech, he announced, I believe, three new programs. Only William Clinton could do that and get away with it. I notice not a single news station, at least the ones that I observed, picked that up. Only this President, who said that he loathed the American military and deliberately avoided service during Vietnam, could use the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act that is designed for military men and women serving overseas to keep them from losing their property while they are serving their country. Only he could invoke that Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act to protect himself from a civil lawsuit in Arkansas. But I think that there is such a thing as being a little too cute and underestimating the American people to the point where, ultimately, when the people make a judgment with respect to this President, we are going to see that they have a lot more wisdom than he attributes to them.”
