The President's Very Shrewd

And From A Military School Which Taught Me That To Fit Into Society, You Can't Just Do Anything You Damn Well Please Because It Will Suit You. And That It's Much Better To Be With The Winners Than It Is With The Losers.

As I Went To College, I Went Into Radio And Television. Now I Suppose Most People Think That's One Step Ahead Of Basket Weaving As A Major In College, But It Was Part Of The Journalism Department.

And On Election Night I'd Go Down To City Hall In El Paso, Texas And Cover The Election. In Those Days, Of Course, We Didn't Have Exit Polls. You Didn't Know Who Had Won The Election Until They Actually Counted The Votes. I Thought That Was Exciting Too.

Some Days The Competition Would Beat Me And I'd Go Home Thinking Awful Thoughts, Want To Hide Under The Bed, Depressed. But Of Course, In The News Business, When You're Working A Daily News Broadcast, You Get Your Victories And Defeats Every Day.

I'd Rather Work With Someone Who's Good At Their Job But Doesn't Like Me, Than Someone Who Likes Me But Is A Ninny.
