Governing is one thing, campaigning is another - and the latter becomes far more pronounced in an election-year State of the Union.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Governing means governing all of the people, no matter what demographic it is, whether it'd be black, white, women, straight, gay, Republican.
To me, governing is communicating. That facilitates the whole job because I can listen, I can hear what people have to say, and at the same time I can let them know what are we working on, what is our strategic line, and where are we going.
Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved - commitment to a scenario.
Today, I think the attitude is that governing is not necessarily good politics, and the result is that it's much more partisan and much more divided.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
The campaign is over. It's time for the work of governing to begin.
