Clinton administration
Stephanopoulos was, along with David Wilhelm and James Carville, a leading member of the 1992 Clinton campaign. His role on the campaign is portrayed in the documentary film The War Room.[2] At the outset of Clinton's presidency, Stephanopoulos served as the de facto press secretary, briefing the press even though Dee Dee Myers was officially the White House Press Secretary. Later, he was moved to Senior Advisor on Policy and Strategy, when Dee Dee Myers began personally conducting the briefings and David Gergen was brought in as the new White House Communications Director. The move was largely viewed as a rebuke to Stephanopoulos' handling of public relations during the first six months of the Clinton Administration.1
Reverend Robert G. Stephanopoulos opening statement:
I’m delighted to be here, of course, and to follow George’s footsteps. There’s a saying in Greek about growing sweet basil in a pot and when one does that, the adage goes, ‘along with the basilico getting water, so does the pot.’ I’m the pot, but I’m very grateful for the privilege being granted to both of us from St. John’s University, which I consider to be an excellent school. I’ve been with the faculty for years now and I see some of my already distinguished graduates.
I’m also grateful for the honor that has been awarded me with George from the University granting a degree of recognition for years of service and dedication not simply to an institution of higher education, which this is, but also to the public at large. That’s the field that we selected, I thought, as he mentioned already, that George should have gone into law, but what he’s done in fact, as his book will indicate, has applied all of the requirements of a good priest to public service. He’s done that very well, he communicates very effectively, that’s one of the responsibilities of a priest and a preacher and I know that that kind of service is an inspiration to many people who have come into contact with us and who we represent as a model and inspiration for your lives and others as well.
I’m grateful to the University and Father Harrington for the recognition he’s given us.2
On "HD TV", those with H.D.: His Discernment can see that "HD" really stands for Hillary's Deceptions.
