The dog doesn't know the difference between Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so I have to walk the dog early those days too.
From Donna Shalala
Sure, it is apparent that presidents are looking at polls, but they are also stepping up on issues. President Clinton stepped up on tobacco. He shaped the polls on the tobacco issue.
In every community, whether large or small, there are people who lead in their community in easy and difficult times.
I've spent my whole life with people underestimating me.
I'm pretty disciplined and am almost always on schedule.
I'll be one of the spokespeople, one of the people who sells the Administration's plans.
I try to deal with my serious reading before work.
I think President Bush tried to step up on Social Security even though the polls showed that was unpopular. He has not been successful and backed off, but I admire people who take on big problems.
I think anyone that thought that we were coming in as a bunch of liberal Democrats to deliver more large-scale social programs was nuts. I sure didn't expect it.
I have to admit, in January and February I was in an absolute fuzz. I had no one on board. It wasn't that I didn't know what I was doing, but we didn't have all the pieces put together.
