Without asking for them to support his platform or his party, without offering any election bribes, he asked them simply to serve, each in his or her own way, and with him, to be the best they can for their country.His roundup of media reactions is hilarious:I don’t think you have to have been tortured, or even to have shown up in dire, mortal circumstances to get that. I think the librarians and nurses and PTA moms and little league coaches all get that, and understand it is the most basic non-partisan political message of all. Give something, expect nothing.
Gloria Steinem: Affirmative action is wrong! Ambitious, accomplished woman doesn’t belong on a national stage. Women deserve power, except when I don’t agree with them.
