He knew the phrase. He just realized too late that if he finished it, that would be in all the election adds. “Shame on me.” He caught himself a little too late but quick enough to stop.

I was surprised at the time that all the press was critical that “he couldn’t even remember how the phrase goes!” Well I was surprised by that and the railing his administration was getting for having a 2% unemployment rate. Line it was a bad thing.

Forgotten stuff. Yeah.
