That Ms. Hubbell feared that she would lose her job at the Department of Interior if Mr. Hubbell took actions against the Clintons. Ms. Hubbell said she feels she is being squeezed by the White House. Webster Hubbell says, ``I will have to roll over one more time for the White House.'' That comes from what, 180 hours worth of tapes. Keep in mind, I will yield back to you, but between the time he resigned from his job and was convicted, Webb Hubbell received $700,000 in payments from friends and associates of the President. $100,000 came from the Riady family associated with the Lippo Group of Indonesia. The payment came within 10 days of a meeting at the White House involving the President, John Huang, James Riady and Webster Hubbell. This is serious stuff. This is not about Dan Burton and his style as chairman and how he may have offended somebody. This is about the security of the United States of America. This is serious stuff.

Every Republican, whether he ran for a dog catcher or school board or president -- they all ran on repeal and replace. So they have to do something.

That's what base republicans called Barack Obama. I think that's partisan rhetoric. I don't think it's accurate at all.
