views voters looks
Well look, I don't begrudge anybody in the voters and their views.
office president able
I would love to be able to serve in office in some capacity with Romney as president.
president get-better reason
This economy is not getting better and the president's policies are the reason.
people unemployment gone
The unemployment rate has effectively not gone down from where it was at the peak of the recession. The only reason it's gone technically from 10 percent to 8 percent is so many people are discouraged and have quit work.
people harder staying
People are working harder and harder than ever before and barely staying in place.
jobs years doctors
It's like doctors can't save all their patients, but, on balance, Bain under Gov. Romney created well over 100,000 jobs, which is certainly more than has been created in the Obama administration because we're down over 500,000 over the last three-and-a-half years.
jobs past oil
Given Mr. Obama's lack of experience as an executive, and his past performance in crises such as the oil spill, it is reasonable for those of us who support the effort in Afghanistan to worry that he will not be up to the job.
team successful decision
General Petraeus is not a miracle worker. He can not be successful unless the president creates greater confidence within his own team about the decisions which the president has himself made.
firsts steps first-steps
Replacing General McChrystal with David Petraeus was a good first step, but more will be needed.
government america people
The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government - alone among the governments of the world - will not allow its own people to recover the energy that they possess.
