We have some work that we have to finish up. We had a meeting with the White House last night to try to start to lay out those parameters of getting done,
We were broadly criticized by some, especially in the Senate, ... We did not back up. We did not wave the white flag. We did not retreat. ... I think this is a good bill.
There may be some things we think will make the bill better, ... It certainly will be in consultation with the White House. But, you know, the president set the limit and I think that's what we're going to work for.
It is something that will help the economy.
I think Tom Reynolds may have been talking about what his feelings are, ... Social Security is something very important. It's something we've talked about doing, and when we decide to move forward we'll let the press know.
I think Tom Reynolds may have been talking about what his feelings are,
I think there are some areas we can work together on to try to find some compromises,
Our hearts and prayers go out to him,
We're cautiously optimistic, ... We're doing as well as we can expect, it's going to be a long night and we have to see what happens in California.
We must not allow the possibility of compromising our national security due to lack of review or oversight by the federal government.
Our problem was an embarrassment of riches. In many cases, we found three or four people qualified to play the role of chairman,
Our vote count is coming along quite well,
out of respect for the office of the presidency and for a desire to hear about the state of our nation.
Our brothers, cousins, uncles, husbands, neighbors were in the war, ... Not everyone's cousin or uncle is in this war.
