One of the enduring truths of the nation's capital is that bureaucrats survive.

To me, the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.

A coalition of groups is waging a massive propaganda campaign against the president of the United States. an all-out attack. Their aim is total victory for themselves and total defeat for him.

I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security.

The old question still remains: Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?

I do believe, with all my heart and mind and spirit, that I, not as President but as a humble servant of God, will receive justice without mercy if I fail to show mercy.

In all my public and private acts as your president, I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end.
