Political Quotes

“I think one of the reasons President Obama has not had an easy time getting Republicans to support his stabilization program is because he has misrepresented the Republican approach to this problem, and obviously that is of concern to us.

A lot of people have said he is trying to scare the American people. I don't think that is true. I think what he is trying to do is demonstrate the seriousness of the situation. But I also believe it is not an excuse for acting in an inappropriate way, to say we have to do something right now, and if we don't, there is going to be catastrophe in the land; therefore, suggesting we need to be less careful about what we do. We believe the President's initial conversations are appropriate and that we need to be careful about how we approach this problem, among other things, because of what could occur over the long term.”
