person and he's doing his best for this country and i was personally quite gratified that america elected a black president and i went to the state department press room that morning to say what it said about our country, that our country is what it claims to be, so all of that is great. i'm a committed republican. i believe very strongly in individual liberty. i tend not to think much in terms of group politics. i really am a small government kind of person and i'm most certainly a fiscal conservative and strong on national defense but i think there's more commonality in the middle of our country than there might be. >> given the way that president obama is now talking about being more inclusive with the republicans and getting america back on its feet it seems to me a bigger picture here than just a normal partisan nonsense that goes on in washington which is getting america revived as a nation.
