- Peter Jennings
About this Quote
This quote by Peter Jennings is a commentary on the differences in between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Al Gore is referred to as having actually devoted his life to information, indicating that he is a careful and thorough individual. On the other hand, George W. Bush is described as not having committed his life to information, and is even said to be the first to admit it. This implies that Bush is more laid back and less focused on the details of a scenario. Jennings' quote is a reflection of the various approaches that Gore and Bush have required to their particular professions. Gore is viewed as a detail-oriented person who wants to put in the effort to do the job, while Bush is viewed as somebody who is more relaxed and less concentrated on the information.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
