“I believe it was P.T. Barnum that once said, ``There is a sucker born every minute.'' I hope the President and those at the White House spin factory do not believe that is true. We, the American people, are fair-minded people; and we like to give others the benefit of the doubt. But we also like to be dealt with in a straightforward, truthful manner; and nothing disturbs us more than having our trust violated. All we asked for and all we have ever asked for is what Sergeant Friday from a former popular TV series used to ask of his suspects, ``Just the facts, sir. Just the facts.'' Mr. Clinton has 21 accusers saying he has done something wrong, and they are providing facts. But instead of facts coming from the White House, all we are getting is spin after spin after spin. Mr. Clinton, that may work for a while. But, unlike P.T. Barnum's theory, Abraham Lincoln had a much better one. ``You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time.'' And that is a truth that we can count on.”
