“if it works for these big guys, why can't it work for the little guy, the little contractors, for the union guys? We better get past the politics of deciding something is good or bad, whether it helps people who vote Republican or vote Democrat, and start thinking about the country, start thinking about America, start thinking about our troops and get serious about creating jobs. When this White House says they are serious about creating jobs, I am going to bring this up to the White House at every point. You could have created jobs. It didn't cost you a penny to do it. In fact, it would have added money. But you turned your back, you walked away, and you left them standing there. I hope those who were thinking maybe they would not get active might get active because of this, because it would sure wake me up if I wasn't paying much attention to what was going on.”
