1:41:01
...was that he simply didn't get it.
1:41:04
I was wrong. Bob's problem isn't
that he doesn't get it.
1:41:07
Bob's problem is that he can't sell it.
1:41:11
We have serious problems to solve...
1:41:13
...and we need serious people
to solve them.
1:41:16
And whatever your particular problem is,
I promise you...
1:41:20
...Bob Rumson is not the least bit
interested in solving it.
1:41:24
He is interested in two things
and two things only:
1:41:28
Making you afraid of it,
and telling you who's to blame for it.
1:41:32
That, ladies and gentlemen,
is how you win elections.
1:41:35
You gather a group of middle-aged,
middle-income voters...
1:41:38
...who remember with longing
an easier time. You talk to them...
1:41:41
...about family and American values
and character.
1:41:45
Then you wave an old photo of the
President's girlfriend, scream patriotism...
1:41:49
...tell them she's to blame
for their lot in life...
1:41:52
...and you go on television...
1:41:55
...and you call her a whore.
1:41:58
Sydney Ellen Wade
has done nothing to you, Bob.
1:42:01
She has done nothing
but put herself through school...
1:42:04
...represent the interest
of public-school teachers...
1:42:07
...and lobby for the safety
of our natural resources.
1:42:10
You want a character debate?
1:42:12
You better stick with me...
1:42:14
...'cause Sydney Ellen Wade is
way out of your league.
1:42:24
I've loved two women in my life.
1:42:28
I lost one to cancer...
1:42:31
...and I lost the other
'cause I was so busy keeping my job...
1:42:34
...I forgot to do my job.
1:42:38
Well, that ends right now.
1:42:41
Tomorrow morning...
1:42:42
...the White House is sending
a bill to Congress for its consideration.
1:42:46
It's White House Resolution 455...
1:42:49
...an energy bill,
requiring a 20 percent reduction...
1:42:52
...of the emission of fossil fuels
over the next ten years.
1:42:56
It is by far the most aggressive stride
ever taken...
