I can tell you this: You have certainly rung my bell, and I will get on top of it next week.
I believe very strongly that over the last 10 to 12 years the political system... failed our people.
That's all right, young man, I used to be one.
We can't forget, amidst all the gamesmanship of American political life... that there are real people with real stories.
