Ideas precede reform. If you can't think it, you can't say it and you can't do it.
I think they are showing a greater willingness to look for new suggestions, new ideas, new approaches than at any time in the presidency. I think they realize the larger system has failed: They are not where they want to be on Iraq; the first week after Katrina was an absolute failure.
The idea that the United States can't guard its own border is silly. It's a sign that were not serious about this...people who legally shouldn't be here. When the state is forced to take care of them - for example, if they have an illegal alien in their prison - the federal government should pay for it. If Washington has to pay for it, Washington's going to more rapidly understand why we have to take some necessary steps.
The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.

Every year that we wait, the risk increases. I would hope that the administration would decide to do something decisive. . . . We have the military power in the region if we need it. It's a question of whether we have the will.
President Mubarak has been a leader in trying to bring peace to the Middle East.
puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years.
People can walk out, but what I'm saying is a fact about a crime,
We have every reason to believe that this terrorist organization will try to hurt other Americans,
