But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through. ~Dee Dee Myers
