"The White House" should not be making partisan comments such as this. It ought to be called "The Black House" since the occupant no longer represents all people or even the nation he supposedly leads, and is in no way a center of whiteness, purity, dignity, righteousness, life, truth, respect, and wholesomeness. He is a hypocrite, deceiver, liar, and destroyer.
What this nation needs is a revival leading to repentance, the fear of God, and humility.
Ahh... I’m guessing you missed the part where it is noted just after the headline that this is a Historical Article from the NYT archices.
It came out in 1994. March of that year.
Just FYI.
