How do the American people feel about President Bill Clinton? Well, according to the latest polls, not so good. In fact, 50 percent of the people don't trust the President to make the right decision on foreign policy. Indeed, in the latest election, the voters of Oklahoma voiced their disapproval of the President by voting against the Democrat in a Democrat-district by a wide margin. The President's coattails are more like scorpion tails, deadly to all Democrats who do not run away fast enough. I would like to extend my congratulations to our newest colleague, Frank Lucas. He promoted the Republican message of less taxes, less government, and less spending. He was rewarded with a victory that must make the White House very nervous.
