They will always have my deep gratitude and I hope that you remember our veterans, service members and their families this year, and every year.
We wouldn’t be able to enjoy our precious freedoms without the brave men and women who are overseas this holiday season, keeping this great country safe by giving up their own family gatherings for the rest of us
I'm ashamed. I have to go back and apologize for what we're doing
If they can't get to a deal, they're gonna have to step aside and hopefully there will be enough of us stepping forward to basically re-introduce the Bowles-Simpson plan
When you look at it - and we all have 20/20 hindsight - I would have taken that Bowles-Simpson report that was my commission
It’s everybody’s fault if this will be the first generation that’s ever failed a generation, ever turned over the keys and left it worse shape that it was when we received it
We cannot accept failure. With that being said, we’ve got to move quick ... put your politics aside.
You don't need to raise taxes.
I'm frustrated. I'm very frustrated. Our approval rating is 9 percent...We're still trying to find the 9 percent think we're doing a good job
that being said, just think what would happen if we step forward if they don't come to an agreement. We step forward as a group, and we're saying, we're going to put this on the table and vote for it. We need leadership. We need leadership - from the White House to both the House and the Senate - steppi...
He's the leader of this great country. We want him to step forward
