theodore roosevelt used to say the presidency was a bully pulpit. i don't suppose i could ever qualify as a good preacher, although my mother used to think when i was youngster thought that that perhaps is what i might be. at the present time, as much as more programs and more money for this and that and the other thing here and around the world, what america needs is ideal istic leadership. and i believe as president of the united states, if we can just take the american people on the mountaintop, and let them see how good this country, how great it is, how fine our young people are, what we do in the selection will determine peace and freedom for the next third of this century. if the american people feel that, believe me, we are going to go forward, and i hope to be leading that charge.
