Steven C. LaTourette: “I was struck by the $7 million and 6,800 jobs, and you know, one of the satisfactions is the correlation of the dollars…”

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.

I give President Obama, you and your Department very high marks for finally treating the Great Lakes as an entire ecosystem.

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.

Leadership, in my mind--and, again, this isn't directed at you; it is directed at the entire administration--leadership, in my mind, is having an opinion.
