J.C. Watts: “I think that the American people are going to want more from presidential candidates than just being against the other…”

We have given people more of their money to spend. We have paid down the public debt. We have given our soldiers more money to protect America's interests and protect themselves around the country. We have had a successful welfare reform…

When the president's out there, I think, giving an honest assessment, saying, you know what, if we had to do it again, we wouldn't do it like that, I think that's a very good thing.

I think if the president felt like Secretary Rumsfeld was not doing the job, that we were not getting the job done in Iraq, I do think that he would -- he would let him go.

I rise today to honor former Speaker Carl Albert who represented southeast Oklahoma... an Oklahoma icon and a national treasure.
