Steven C. LaTourette: “I talked to the President's Chief of Staff in small, four-letter words that he understands.”

I guess I am disappointed would be the word. Not in you, but this administration has joined the last administration in basically abdicating leadership in transportation.

If you all and people like you let us get away with it, well, then bad things are going to continue to happen.

I was struck by the $7 million and 6,800 jobs, and you know, one of the satisfactions is the correlation of the dollars spent and jobs created.

My difficulty, however, is that your leadership in both Houses completely abdicated their responsibility to govern this country when it came to the Nation's fiscal health.
