Democratic president although we were losing 800,000 jobs a month and the auto industry was on the brink of total collapse gives you an idea of what we're up against because there is this ideological purity test that i think unfortunately too many republicans who know better are being subjected to. so i will go anywhere, talk to anybody, anytime to try to find common ground, to try to achieve our national objectives, but i'll also stand my ground. and i think it's a constant balance about where one begins and the other one ends. i think the president was absolutely sincere.
