bit bring coming discussed including issues morning ought people rather rules seeing spirit together trade work
I'm seeing a little bit of a different spirit today. You see people coming together this morning as we discussed to say this ought to be a single-undertaking and we ought to work to bring all of these issues together including trade facilitation, development and rules into one package. Not you go first, then I'll go, but rather we need to do it simultaneously together.

And he specifically talked about the need to reach across the aisle and deal with issues like the economy, which was obviously the top issue in 2008. It has not happened.
thinking people president
I think what people are looking for right now is not the kind of pizzazz and pop that perhaps we thought we got in 2008. Certainly, President Obama offered that. What they want now is someone who can work closely with Congress and get things done.

For all our current troubles, Americans are still the hardest working, most innovative people on the face of the earth. By trusting the American people, instead of government, we'll continue to surprise and inspire the world.
