Yes, I don't believe that the inter-Korean relationship has, quote, 'deteriorated' since I assumed office.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

If you can get humor and seriousness at the same time, you've created a special little thing, and that's what I'm looking for, because if you get pompous, you lose everything.
