Until then, the Clinton administration was amateur hour. I screamed at everybody all the time. Like George Stephanopoulos. He would close the press secretary s office door, wouldn t let us come in, then made the mistake of putting the briefings on television. He wanted control.
All presidents lie.
They don t all lie, but they don t all tell the truth. No president tells the truth all the time. I almost believed him because he said it so strongly. You hit it on the head. He convinced himself that s exactly how he has rationalized his whole life.
