Humphrey Institute News on-the-go

Vice President Walter Mondale compared his days as vice president with the current administration at a recent conference sponsored by the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance.

In a blistering close to his 30-minute presentation at the Humphrey Institute for Public Policy, Mondale said that in looking back on his tenure as Jimmy Carter's vice president, he took pride in three claims: "We told the truth; we obeyed the law; and we kept the peace." The Bush-Cheney administration, Mondale said, "can't say any of that with a straight face about those first four years. And it's cost us terribly. Let's not make that mistake again."
