But all of us learned a great deal along the way about our profession, about the middle east, and about the promise of american leadership. Through sams remarkable journey and my own checkered thirtythree year career in the foreign service, i have learned that the middle east is a place where pessimists seldom lack for either company or validation, where skeptics hardly ever seem wrong. It is a place where american policymakers often learn humility the hard way, a place where you can most easily...

Many of the problems we saw at the end began at the very beginning. I spoke about the attempt to control all institutions and all parts of the economy and political life and social life. One of the problems is that when you do that, when you try to control everything, you create opposition and potential dissidents everywhere. If you tell all artists they have to paint the same way and to artist says no, i want paint another way, you have just made him into a political visited. Political dissiden...

Because on the ground does matter in these campaigns. So my fifth point here is, guys, we have a long ways to go. In critical terms, we are well, were five weeks out, four and a half weeks out from the election. Thats several political lifetimes. A lot of stuff can happen, this race the senate is not yet decided. You know, i think it may change a couple of times between now and election day. And dont take, you know, dont take to heart all these, everything saying, gee, republicans have that enth...

Things like it is many jobs as we said, thats wrong. Total privatesector job growth of oure Time Administration is much more than 60,000. Sure we should be more efficient. Yes we should be investing in technologies we did not have in our state previously. When i inherited this state because you elected me governor, the largest apartment spending 18 of our money was operating on a format from the effective age of 1989. Im sorry to cut you off. Now onto the rebuttal phase. Mr. Foley. Governor brou...

Stable lead. I would say organized labor is doing much more effectively in michigan. I would put a finger on the scale for democrats in michigan, and finally, jeanne shaheen, there are some conflicting calls with most showing her head by half a dozen points. There may be some closure there, but i still think she has a measurable advantage. If republicans need one, it needs to be iowa or colorado. If they simply get republican states voting republican, they dont need to win any swing states, or, ...

And im looking forward to this because im tired of listening to myself. I guess between the two of them, for close to 70 years neil and i go back 30 odd years. These are folks i have enjoyed being with and love watching their work. They are two great pros and two great people. Let me do a nutshell of where i am and then i want to get neil and stan and talk about what they are seeing out there. If you go back to the early part of last year, there were two competing scenarios two theories of what ...

Two competing scenarios, two sort of theories of what the 2014 mid term elections could be about. One theory was some of the challenges problems facing the Republican Party in 2012 would just sort of flow on into 2014. The other was that this would be a classic mid term election referendum on the incumbent president and with all that that entails. So two competing directions and it could have really gone either way. In terms of challenges facing the Republican Party some of them were with key vo...

A very good saturday morning to you. Right now, in this country, some 61 of workers, 18 and over, have access to some form of paid sick leave. About 49 million American Workers lack paid sick leave.

Those three states, california, massachusetts, and connecticut, connecticut and massachusetts laws pro...

That he wants affordable, Accessible Health care for his family and for families all across New Hampshire and all across this country and he said, do not give up on that. But you have got to open this government. People need the help that they deserve, our economy needs the strength and the vitality, we cant leave thousands of people without their jobs, without their pay, and i ask you, mr. Speaker, please, bring this vote to the floor. We can pass this with a bipartisan vote and we can move our...
