I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.
In this day and age of digital media, as we've learned, it's not as though nobody's going to find out what you said.
I was never up four percent.
It's nice to have a debate in a swing state.
Health care is much the same - the status quo is, by all measures, failing far too many people - and we must not shrink from the challenge.
Improving some of the rules under which the Senate functions can begin to replace some of the bad habits Washington has developed with better ones.
To get enough of the teachers we need, teaching has to be a great job where talented people are supported and rewarded.
Colorado's majestic landscapes are one of our most valuable assets, and it's important that we work to preserve these treasures.
I think about Aaron Rodgers, he's like Chris Evans before he got the HGH injection in Captain America. But before he was super smart and was still witty and stuff. That's how I see Tom Brady.
There are many miles to go before we get this done ... But I have a feeling that ... we're going to have a big bipartisan vote for this in the end. My sense is that people are more optimistic than they've been in 20 years about addressing this problem.
Ensuring all kids have access to an effective, talented teacher needs to be a national priority.
I am most interested in the outcomes at schools and school districts and ensuring that all kids are prepared for college and a career in the 21st-century job market.
Teacher compensation isn't the only factor in cultivating great teaching. Other important priorities include changing how we measure student performance, providing more flexibility to teacher-preparation programs, and improving how we train and support principals.
I've focused on making sure we have talented teachers and principals in our schools through proposals like the GREAT Teachers and Principals Act and the Presidential Teachers Corps.
