>> when you got back to west virginia, what are you saying to your constituents there, the people of west virginia, many of whom must be completely exasperated with what is happening in washington. how do you explain it? kind of pledges can you give going forward? >> first of all, they tell me how bad things look and what they have been seeing and they all know me and i know them and i said if you think it's ugly from where you're setting, you ought to be sitting in my set and watching it happen. we're not used to this. in west virginia we don't do business this way. we try to identify our problem, bring people together, put our state ahead of our politics and work through it. that's what we always did when i was governor and we did it when i've been in legislature. it's always been about my state is first. this sabis about our country. why they are playing such high stakes poker, piers, is beyond me. this is self-inflicted by
