I don't believe he served the president well, ... I don't believe he served the nation well.
I am disappointed that the Air Force did not choose Selma as the site for their Introductory Flight Training program. I believe Selma is an excellent location for IFT, as it meets all the education and training requirements set forth by the Air Force.
I believe the continuation of subsidized rates, particularly for properties that have suffered repetitive losses and those that are vacation homes, represents a financial drain on the flood insurance fund while encouraging families to remain living in harms way,
I believe that I have enough information -- that is, intelligence -- to make an informed decision this coming week on whether or not to support the president of the United States, ... Late Edition.
