I've seen the proud statement of a former Attorney General who protected his boss and now brags on the fact that he tiptoed through a minefield and came out 'clean'. I can't imagine somebody like Thomas Jefferson tiptoeing though a minefield on the technicalities of the law and then bragging about being clean afterwards. Jimmy Carter 5-4-74 Republicians have no ideas, they don't even pretend to. All they can say is, in effect, "It can't be any better, so why worry about the election? Why worry about the government?" And they imply that somehow or another we ought to fear progress, or fear the future. But Americans have never feared progress and we've never feared the future. The American dream is based on the belief that with hard work and good government we can build better lives and build a better nation for ourselfs and for our children. A great nation can't stand still. If we're not moving forward, we're moving backward. Our nation has always been at its best when as a people we are boldly reaching out, striving, trying, growing, facing difficulties with courage, with a spirit of unity, and the concept of excellence. And sometimes sacrifice. Jimmy Carter, 10-19-1976, NY,NY A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

The second one sound like a loser who brought about the biggest recession since the Great Depression. "So what if I'm a major loser the Republicans have no ideas!"
