Political Quotes

“I think the 21st century is about the power of people like you and me, removed from this place, living in neighborhoods, the ability of us to soar, in the age of the computer, where Americans have more tools and more freedom. You do not have to wear a necktie in the morning anymore. You do not have to go to an office anymore. You can sit in your own den and you can use a magical instrument called a computer to shake things around the world. I do not want to look forward to a 21st century where I have got to call a Washington bureaucrat to ask him whether I should log on or not. No, it is not just about balancing a budget, but it is systematically giving people their money, their power, their authority, their influence back to develop creative solutions to what exists in their neighborhoods. I think that really what it is all about into the next century and what this debate is going to be all about is whether we are successful in saying to Americans, not powerful Americans but Americans like my mom and dad and the families in the neighborhood that I grew up in, that we trust you, we believe in you.”
