We can't go to people who have lost their job at GM and say 'Oh by the way we are going to pay money to build a road here or inoculate children there ' unless we can demonstrate that it is in America's interest. I happen to think it is.
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past I think has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
