Well, and I heard the brilliant gentleman Frank Luntz at a focus group that analyzed the summit. Fifteen of the people in there had voted for President Obama, 15 of them had voted for John McCain, and it was interesting to hear some of the observations. I loved what one gentleman said. He didn't sound like a lawyer. He just sounded like a good commonsense person. He said, I just know that I have never been in a government office in line to get some service and seen a government employee come running out and say, Let me open another window. This line is too long. But he said, You know, we've seen that in private businesses because if you make somebody wait in the line too long, they'll go to the next business and not stay in your business. And his point was, he did not want those people who would not come around and open an extra window to be the ones that are in charge of his health care. I thought it was a beautiful point.
