Political Quotes

We are caught up in a global slowdown, a global recession. To listen to Clinton and Gore, they would say it's all my fault. Unlike them, when I make a mistake, I say so. But we are caught up in something global, and what we're trying to do is lead the way out of this by increasing our exports, by holding the line on Government spending and taxes, and by providing incentives to small business. That will get this economy going. And that is why I believe I will win. Also there's another thing, and it's called character and trust. And in the debate Governor Clinton said, in Richmond, Virginia, he said it's not the character of the President but ``the character of the Presidency.'' Wrong. They are interacted. They're locked. And you better be--if you're going to be there in the Oval Office and a situation comes up like Desert Storm, you can't have it both ways.

And I think Barbara and I--we've tried very hard to uphold the trust that any President gets who is privileged to serve in the Oval Office. And I think in the final analysis, when people go into the voting booth, that is what's going to make me reelected for 4 more years. Go ahead, get them going. You've got the question? There's one right behind you. He's next. This guy's next. Go ahead.”
