Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 23, 1992
Hey, we're trying to reach out to them with programs. I'm not too much of a mod MTV man. But I don't think what program you appear on--I can't play the saxophone, but I know a good deal about issues. And so you can't be everywhere. I think our programs have strong appeal for young people, whether it's education reform or whether it's on the health care so their families have a much better break on that, whether it's on college scholarships where our record is superb in terms of these Pell grants. But look, there's something funny going on in American politics. I've been doing this kind of program since 1978 in forums that were called ``Ask George Bush.'' And I like it. I feel comfortable. Some of the programs to get out there and kind of outdo Oprah or Phil Donahue, that's not my style. Maybe MTV would be a good one, and I'll think about it. But you can't do them all, and you shouldn't be judged by whether you go on one single network or one single program. That's my answer. National Debt
