Andy Card: “I think that President Obama actually did a courageous thing today.”

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.

Well, you know what he was talking about was the war on terror is unlike any war the United States has been in. We can't say that there will be a head of state that shows up and says, 'I'm ready to sign a peace treaty.'

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.

I think they can -- I think they can make a lot of progress to bringing discipline to the government. And the president should be working very hard to help them accomplish that objective, because the American people spoke so loudly.
