“I used to say I thought if you were down on your luck and you got through the Secret Service, got in the Oval Office and said, Mr. President, ‘I’m down on my luck,’ he would literally give you the shirt off his back.

— ABC’s Sam Donaldson, who covered the White House during the 1980s, on Good Morning America, June 11, 2004.
