Political Quotes

On the recordApril 19, 1994
as the President was driving his Mustang last Sunday, 2 hours late because of his golf game, the U.S. position in Bosnia was worsening. You have to wonder where this President's priorities are. According to many reports, Mr. Clinton simply does not care about foreign policy. The results of this indifference are obvious. From North Korea to Bosnia, from Haiti to Iraq, American resolve is questioned. We seem to be getting ourselves deeper and deeper into trouble without a clear plan or understanding of our mission. But the Clinton doctrine is: "If it doesn't show up on the polls, don't worry about it." Mr. Speaker, that is a heck of a way to lead the most powerful Nation on earth. I urge the President jump out of his Mustang, and behind our foreign policy steering wheel. We need a President who knows where he is going on foreign policy.
