The American people say, we're frustrated, we are doubly frustrated. We are frustrated with President Obama, we are frustrated with Democrats, we are frustrated with Republicans. We want the government to work.

I'm not a birther. I thought the president should have done this an awful long time ago. He would have helped to create a climate where you could have an honest debate about the real policies that make a difference.

We want you to go state-by-state, house-to-house; we need every vote we can get and you're the one that can do it.

Republicans do want to bring more discipline to government. They do want to repeal and replace the health care package that the president put in that jammed through Congress.
