“I once told you that I am not a saint, and I hope never to see the day that I cannot admit having made a mistake. So I will close with another confession. Frequently, along the tortuous road of recent months from this chamber to the Presidents House, I protested that I was my own man. Now I realize that I was wrong.

The truth is I am the peoples man, for you acted in their name, and I accepted and began my new and solemn trust with a promise to serve all the people and do the best that I can for America.” PeopleMenMadeI CanAmericaHouseNamesPresidentRealizingMy OwnMistakeChangedMonthsPromiseTruth IsSaintAcceptedOccupationConfessionDo The BestChamberSolemnMade A MistakeConfirmation Book:Gerald R.
