Remember, Success For A Politician Is 50%

I Worry That We're Seeing A Situation- Obama's Administration Not Only Committing Us The Huge Deficits For The Future, But Is Also Redefining The Relationship Between Government, On The One Hand, And The Private Sector On The Other.

After 9/11 We Were Prepared To Use Military Force. We Were Prepared To Go After Not Only The Terrorists, But Those Who Sponsor Terror And Provide Sanctuary And Safe Harbor For Them. We Were Prepared To Use Our Intelligence Assets The Way We Would Against An Enemy That Threatened The United States Itself, To Put In Place, For Example, Things Like The Terror Surveillance Program And To Have A Robust Interrogation Program On Detainees. Those Are The Acts You Take When You Feel You're At War And That The Very Existence Of The Nation Is Threatened.

I Think I Was Able To Survive Five Heart Attacks Because I Never Postponed Going To The Hospital When Something Didn't Feel Right.

You Got To Have People At The Top Who Respond To And Are Selected By Presidents.
