Politics, Campaigning

A President's performance depends a great deal on the information he has and the information he is able to get. I sought the background of every important question that confronted me. I talked with people interested in the welfare of the country who could give me their viewpoint exactly as they thought and believed, no matter what they thought my opinion was on a particular subject. And frank opinions were hard to get. TOo many people tried to find out what I wanted to hear and then gave it to me. But the people I wanted around me did not do that.
I made it my business as President to listen to people in all walks of life and in all fields of endeavor and experience. I did not see only the people who ought to be seen--that is, who were ``well connected.'' I always tried to be a good listener. But since the responsibility for making decisions had to be mine, I always reserved judgment.
Harry S. Truman; Mr. Citizen

There is no gambling like politics.
Disraeli

Two political candidates were in a hot debate. Finally one of the jumped up and yelled about the other: ``What about the powerful interests that control you?''
The other guy screamed back, ``You leave my wife out of this.''
