John Thune: “Do you think that's an acceptable track record? And what do you do--intend to do to improve upon it?”

It’s a great message. I like the message. But it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars.

Odds are we plan on being here next week," said Thune.

I just think, if you’re looking at issues that we want to get at the heart of what everybody seems to be saying, the Democrats and others are saying, are important, we're concerned about.

That's why again I hope that the administration is laser-focused on trying to get the strait open, get the shipping lanes opened up, and help out with that global energy supply.
