On the recordApril 21, 2010
Madam Speaker, it's important for us to take a moment to extend our gratitude to our loved ones who have endured the grief of losing loved ones, those brave soldiers in the battlefield who become wounded or sick. I rise today in support of House Resolution 855, expressing support for the designation of May 1st as 'Silver Star Service Banner Day'. Recognizing all of our service members throughout the year is our privilege and designating May 1, 2010 as Silver Star Service Banner Day is an additional way to honor the wounded and ill members of our Armed Forces. The Silver Star Families of America, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to keeping the memories of these hero's sacrifices in the hearts and minds of all of us through the presence of a Silver Star displayed in a window or the Service Flag flying for all to see.

I wasn't surprised by the tweet, but anyway, I thought it was a great op-ed that was written. I think it said things that need to continually be said. And so I applaud Mitt Romney for saying that.

I think it's certainly detrimental to the country, and I think ultimately detrimental to Republicans.

if you just dismiss all of that and just talk politics, at some point here soon, Republicans are going to have to decide whether or not they want to be tethered to the president politically.
