[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim the Fanciful: [QB] Yes. And your response gave [i]me[/i] an excuse to clarify myself. :.) Is it a mandatory tradition that every president must make at least one change or establish one thing that will last after he's gone? Or is it merely out of prestige? Like Chris Plummer's speech in "The Insider"? [b]Mike Wallace: "In the real world, when you get to where I am, there are other considerations. Lowell Bergman: Like what? Corporate responsibility? What, are we talking celebrity here? Mike Wallace: I'm not talking celebrity, vanity, CBS. I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now, what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is "How will I be regarded in the end?" After I'm gone. Now, along the way I suppose I made some minor impact. I did Iran-Gate and the Ayatollah, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Saddam, Sadat, etcetera, etcetera. I showed them thieves in suits. I've spent a lifetime building all that. But history only remembers most what you did last. And should that be fronting a segment that allowed a tobacco giant to crash this network? Does it give someone at my time of life pause? Yeah."[/b] Granted, Bush isn't as old as Plummer but as a president he might be more exposed to the notion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
