They're normally referred to as handlers in the campaign season and advisers--has a nicer tone--in the noncampaign season. And I read all the time about some anonymous source who is known to feel strongly about the very questions you asked about, Jess. I read about ideas that I'm considering I haven't even heard of yet. I don't know. What I'd say to the American people is, please ask for a name to be placed next to the source so I can get mad at the guy who's doing this. It's strange out there. It's strange. No, really, I wish people would, in the White House or elsewhere, say, ``My name is Joe Jones; I think the President needs to do this,'' or ``I'm Sally Smith, and I think he ought to consider these three options.''

And I think the American people don't like it. I don't think they like it very much. I'd like to see some sources put next to--yes? Free Trade and Job Creation”
