I mean, they're threatening - my career is over. You know, everything I've worked so hard. I've worked extremely hard since about 17 years old, you know, as a White House intern on up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was in the White House for a year and a half. Up to that point, all my jobs had been very unglamorous.
My government career is over.
As a young man, you're dazzled by the power of the White House and all that. But power tends to corrupt.
I actually think, as unusual as it might sound, that working in the White House is an extraordinary life.
I have a reputation for being the hardest working person in Congress.
With what all these people are saying, do you think that anybody wants to be around me? They all think that I did this on purpose? That I knew that I was positive, for so many years? I feel now that I'm going to be attacked if anybody sees me or if I go to the office.
For one thing, there is no guarantee that I am even going to work again. I hope I will and will go on to have a long career.
We have the opportunity and the responsibility to lead our country to a better and brighter future, and I cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get back to work.
The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.
I am president now, and tired of being kicked around.
