“The public does not like you to mislead or represent yourself to be something you're not. And the other thing that the public really does like is the self-examination to say, you know, I'm not perfect. I'm just like you. They don't ask their public officials to be perfect. They just ask them to be smart, truthful, honest, and show a modicum of good sense.” KnowsDoeSelfShowsAsksPerfectHonestLike YouSmartOfficialsTruthfulExaminationMisleadNot PerfectGood SenseBeing SmartI'm Not PerfectSelf-examinationPublic Officials Author:Ann Richards
