Political Quotes

“Paul, Minnesota May 22, 1991 Thank you, Governor. Let me just say I'm here to--thank you very, very much. I'm here to talk about education. But with that North Stars introduction, let me put it this way: they took it on the chin last night, but who knows? We've got a whole new skating match out there today. I have just seen in the classroom--re: the computer--what Minnesota has seen on the ice. I think we saw a lot of Bellows, a lot of Gagner, a lot of Jon Caseys in the classroom--first-class kids starring in what they're doing. I met with Tom King of the Saturn School. He's the Bob Gainey of this operation. I tell you--he's got some up-and-coming North Stars on this team here. I was delighted to see them. I wanted to thank Governor Carlson for his courtesy and his welcome, his commitment to education. I want to especially single out the man you first heard from, our new distinguished Secretary of Education, Lamar Alexander. He is revolutionizing education in this country. As we talk about education, it would not be right if I didn't single out the community leaders, the teachers, my fellow computer students. I'm sorry that Senator Durenberger is not with us today; he has an important vote. But I'm glad to see that he is already a cosponsor of our legislation today. Today I came out here to learn and also to talk about American leadership.…”
