I take her at her word, but I certainly would like to know more about these phone conversations,
We certainly want those at the top to do well, but if you base your entire presidency and your entire economic platform on helping them do even better, you're missing what makes the economy tick. Because not everyone has been as fortunate as Mitt Romney, you cannot base your whole approach on a life experience as rarified as his.
There will certainly be more concern and scrutiny for Sandra Day O'Connor's seat,
How was it we were so far behind the curve that it was almost laughable. It just makes my jaw drop to think that on 9/11 or 9/10 the kind of technology that is available to most school kids and certainly every small business in this country, why isn't it available to the FBI?
I think it's a little insulting, a bit insulting to American workers when Rand Paul says that unemployment insurance is a disservice.
I think it makes a good deal of sense for us to take time, catch our breath, and take a few days out.
Most of the people I meet who are on unemployment are people who have had jobs for 25 years, lost them; they've been knocking on doors every week.

The president ought to do his own internal investigation of the vice president's office, to see what happened, set some standards and if need be take the vice president to the woodshed,
To those who say ideology doesn't matter, they should take their argument to President Bush.
To those like Mitt Romney who want to take us backwards, let's send a strong message in November: as we say in Brooklyn, 'Fuhgeddaboutit.'
When Republicans say, 'The first thing you do when you do deficit reduction is reduce rates,' it would be like Democrats saying, 'The first thing you do when you do deficit reduction is provide free Medicare at age 55.' We'd like to do that! But it won't bring the deficit down. That's for sure.
