Transcription
I always felt that when Franklin Roosevelt died, that was the end of the good and great presidents. And then, after Harry Truman, I thought, well, that's the last of them. And then we had Jack Kennedy, for such a short time, too. But I learned something by then. I learned that in the proper time, the man and the moment can meet, so to speak. A good man can become a great man. A person of vision can become a president of vision, take up a country and lead it into a more secure future, where the goal, truly, is justice for all. I look forward to voting for Jimmy Carter. That's the truth of it. I feel it's in the air that we're going to have a new Democratic president in the tradition of the best Democrats. Democratic presidents.
