'sought out to make'?  Shouldn't that be 'sought to make'?  Too bad
there aren't grammar checkers like there are spell checkers (see,
I can nit-pick, too!)  {:^)

His ability to improve education in this country is suspect, and besides,
his top priority is supposed to be the economy.  You can hardly translate
what he did in Arkansas (not much) to the rest of the country.  And even
though I don't respect his record, I am all for him trying to improve
education and the economy.  I just don't like how his top priority has been
shifted to a left-wing, liberal agenda.  Like one of Clinton's staffers
said this week when asked what he thought the public's opinion of the first
few days of the Clinton administration was, he replied:

 'If you're an illegal alien lesbian whose trying to get an abortion, the
      first few days of the Clinton administration have been GREAT!'
