Well, he campaigned on extending them for the middle class. I don't know. I think the Republicans may get hurt slightly. Elections have consequences and one of the consequences of this election if you're a rich person, you did very well.

The Democrats lost this election. We'll see where it goes. The President has to make the case.

I think the election is about economic growth.

The President's imperative here was to find bipartisanship.

House Democrats have to say this is doubling down on failure.

Elections have consequences and one of the consequences of this election if you're a rich person, you did very well. I think they should make the argument that the Republicans are doubling down on failure.

I think they could have explained to us what their strategy was and what they're doing.

I contributed to this president. I voted for him. I support him. I still support him.

I don't know, but I'm the guy on the campaign that said if Hillary gave him one of her balls, they'd both have two.

I don't blame people for being mad about this. It's something to be mad about.

I think that the Democrats paid a price because it looked like we were too lackadaisical about what happened during these bailouts.

We should have done something about compensation for these banks that got bailout money.

I think there are a lot of things that the president can do, and hopefully that he will do that will put him back in good speed with the American people.

But that doesn't mean that I'm -- can't be sort of critical of things when I see something. I'm doing my job.

I also was critical of the message that was coming out where they said that the economic program was working as opposed to we're fighting every day against interest and interest in the Republican Party between the captains of banking, who…

I think the policy has proven to be that the only thing he can do when you have this kind of thing that they're confronted with.

I think that we obviously were forced to deal with the fact that American finance had come close to and maybe still has, will wreck the world economy, and I just don't think that they've been tough enough on these bankers.

I thought that the president should be tough on these banks and that's about what it is.

I don't know, because I'm the guy on the campaign that said if Hillary gave him one of her balls, they'd both have two.

I think questions are fair to ask here. I mean, it was a decision that had severe impact on the people in my state.

I think they're going to probably invoke the Cheney doctrine here. But you know, again, I think questions are fair to ask here.

The decision to impose this drilling moratorium was based on manipulated data by the administration.

Well, I think that -- I think the House Democrats made them transparent. I think they changed the rules, if -- if -- to -- my memory serves me correctly. And, you know, they -- they come in, and spending is the big thing. Well, we're going…

Well, of course it is. I mean, look, there's going to be a lot more. It's -- it's -- it's -- this is what happens. You have an election, and everybody is going to come in as an outsider and they are going to change Washington, and they…

If I were Sarah Palin's political adviser, that I'd say, 'Governor, we shouldn't go for this.' That poll gives me more of a green light than anything.
