When Kennedy said, 'Let's go to the moon,' we didn't yet have a vehicle that wouldn't kill you on launch. He said we'll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.
There has been an awful lot of time and money spent looking at the president over the last four years The American people saw through those investigations. They voted for the president.

What is important is that you're honest with the American people.
