No one, no one, wants a peaceful solution to this situation more than I do -- nobody at all.

There's no higher domestic priority than the economy, the job-creating engine that every family in this country counts on.
I hope you're doing a little better in Rochester, Minnesota, than we are as a nation as a whole.
