“I wish that the President would have had an opportunity to walk into just some of the cafes, the mom and pop restaurants in our communities, because I think it was there that people really felt this shift a number of months ago in San Diego. When you have sitting on those cafe tables a charge that they are asking people to pay in addition to the cost of the lunch, of the dinner, just explaining to people what has happened in terms of their own particular costs, I think that is quite astounding. The other issue is not just the mom and pop shops. Certainly our seniors who have been so affected. But we have great concern and great fear in the community now that in fact some of the progress that they have been making, and I will take the biotech industry as one, that some of that progress may go out the window because we are faced with some of the problems that we are faced with today.”
