Chris Dodd: “The work on children is something that a lot of us, all of us, care about up here.”

I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels to corrupt.

The truth is that the catastrophe was years in the making caused by regulatory negligence and Wall Street gambling.

I'll tell you, one of the things I feel very good about is that there are people like Bob Menendez, who care about these issues.

Maybe we ought to be spending a little more time looking at the relationships at that level.
