...your anger aimed at the proper targets? The Washington gridlock you so rightly condemn isn't only the fault of greedy, comfortably entrenched politicians. It is also your fault, if you have ever deliberately voted for one party in the White House and for the other in Congress in order to dilute their powers. Your complaint that politicians don't listen to the people is wrong; they listen too much. They are only too aware that you won't stand for unpopular and painful programs, that you won't reward politicians for courage, if it hurts...
...very qualities that we can accept in a female politician are the ones we condemn in politicians' wives.

Speaking of himself in the third person (an affectation common to megalomaniacs), Jackson denounced Clinton's courage as a "Machiavellian maneuver" designed...
...nation needed to hear its leader condemn the mindless rioting -- and it was good to learn that a federal grand jury is investigating the violation of King's civil rights. It was good, too, to hear the President again share with the country his frustration and anger with the Simi Valley verdict. Nevertheless, there was little that telegraphed a true understanding of the connection between what the President deplores and what he still, for the most part, ignores...
