“I wanted to follow up on the good words not only of Senator Boxer but my good friend Senator Whitehouse, as he took on some of the words we were hearing from our colleague from Oklahoma, Senator Inhofe, as he talked about collusion of the people in this area-- collusion. I guess he meant with the President of the United States. I looked at some of the names on this report--Hank Paulson, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under George Bush. I am trying to imagine him colluding with President Obama, and I just can't picture it right now. Gregory Page is someone I know, the former head of Cargill, the CEO of Cargill, a multinational company--the biggest company in the United States--based in Minnesota. The executive chairman of Cargill is a part of this report warning the business community, looking at what the risks are to the business community. I can tell you he is not colluding with the President of the United States. Olympia Snowe--talk about an independent--the former Senator from the State of Maine, is part of this group issuing this report. She is not colluding with the President of the United States. As Senator Whitehouse pointed out, all of these military branches and people from the branches of our military who look at this as a security risk are looking at this and literally following the oath.…”
