the subpoenas that are out there. because you ve got a former u.s. attorney from chicago who s been brought in by the legislature. you ve got the u.s. attorney in new jersey, paul fishman, beginning to look at various things. chris christie will have to set up an informal department of government to keep track of the investigations going on. yeah. that s absolutely right. what we heard today didn t match that environment. this government today almost sounded like he was in a pretraffic e-mail mindset. like he was still living in the time before. we all saw the documents that showed people in the administration used and misused government resources for payback. take a listen to him. we have to play outside the red and blue boxes that the media pundits put us in. we have to be willing to reach out the to others who look or speak differently than us. he makes it sound like it s other people s problem when it
ethnicity and wealth and yes by political party, is neither permanent nor necessary. you see our dreams are the same, a good job. a great education for our children. safe streets in our neighborhood and core values which give lives real meaning. those dreams are not unique to any one group in our state. and while government has a role in ensuring the opportunity to accomplish these dreams, we have now learned that we have an even bigger role to play as individual citizens. we have to be willing to play outside the red and blue boxes that the media pundits put us in. we have to be willing to reach out to others who look or speak differently than us. we have to be willing to personally reach out a helping hand to a neighbor or a friend suffering from drug addiction or

$90 trillion. i have a question. where are the tears? there ought to be tears. there should be no standing ovation. this guy got beat. he got beat by a political kn neophyte by barack obama, he got beat by harry reid, he got beat by the race clowns harry bernstein and others, and he got beat by the media pundits i m not a fan like my buddy bill cunningham is, but he was sabotao say he got beat up by the media punks, john mccain, lindsey graham. boehner called your radio show yesterday. i spoke to him. boehner wanted to stand by those who wanted a deal. at the end of the deal, ted cruz was thanking house republicans.
