He, Governor Clinton, thinks, well what he said was he thinks the country is 'coming apart at the seams.' Now, I know that the only way he can win is to make everybody think that the economy is worse than it seems, but this country isn't coming apart at the seams, for heavens sakes. We're the United States of America. In spite of the economic problems we are the most respected economy around the world. Many would trade for it; we've been caught up in a global slowdown. We can do much, much better. We ought not to convince the American people that America is a country which is coming apart at the seams. I would hate to be running for President, and think that the only way I could win would be to convince everyone of how horrible things have been.
