Senator Rand Paul saying President Obama is not interested in getting a budget deal from the Congressional Supercommittee. Says he's not interested in America's 401(k) accounts, only getting re-elected.

If he wants to work with us, he should call us and talk to us.

But it doesn't help if he's calling us names on the campaign trail all the time.

I will endeavor reasonable discussion. I have a very good discussion with the president one-on-one and I personally said I would work with him.

He's not doing that. He's on the campaign trail all the time bashing us.

I don't want them to be the national superintendent of schools.

The farther we get away from the local school, the worse it gets.

I think that those schools aren't going to improve for the kids in greatest need if there's not some press to improve that.
