Myself. When you think back about the last three years, whats the first thing that comes to your mind. The last three years of the Bush Administration. When you were chief of staff. Whats the thing that flashes in front of you . Boy, a lot of things flash in front of me. Theres a trauma and a recency effect to the financial crisis. That was the last thing that happened on the way out the door. For the Bush Administration. You remember we went through 7 1 2 very difficult tumultuous years, hugely consequential, dramatic changes in the world and in the united states. You know, wed had a recession. We had a crisis of confidence in american business. We had the 9 11 attacks, the war in afghanistan, the war in iraq, hurricane katrina. All of these things. So when we approached the last year of the Bush Administration, as we got to 7 1 2 years in, most of us thought lets try to wrap this up in a responsible and effective way and for whoever wins the presidency, leave the country and the whit
Administration doesnt want the American People to see. The president S Health Care law has been a failure, cant be fixed just by delaying one more part or by sending out the spin doctors one more time or by having one more press conference. I hope that when we return after the new year that president obama and democrats in congress will be ready to sit down with republicans to talk about real Bipartisan Solutions that puts patients and families first. Thank you, madam president. I yield the floor. Note the absence of a quorum. The presiding officer the clerk will call the roll. The presiding officer the senator from oklahoma.

U. S. Lson center examines brazil relations. You can see it live starting at 10 a. M. Eastern here on cspan. Later, the brookings institution. Osted a discussion that is live at 2 p. M. Eastern. She was everyones soul sister. She laid her life out for everyone to see. Us about what life was like in suburbia for women in the 1960s through the 1990s. One of the wonderful things about her is that she wrote mainly humor. It was humor that was accessible to everyone. It was humor that happened in everybodys lives, but they may not recognize it until they saw it written on the page or in a newspaper column because funny things happen to us all the time , but we have to be on the lookout for it and she was the one that focused our attention on the funny things that happen in a family. That the you see my craziness and jives you nuts. When you look back, that was really funny. That is a real gift. That is a literary gift. It wrecks the life and times of erma bombeck.

Recep. A double play ends the game and sends the orioles to the next round. And a ground ball to third. Flaherty, second base. The turn. In time. The Baltimore Orioles sweep the tigers. The os next stop, baltimore. The royals will play in the American League championship series. All right. Mika, your dance worked. It did. This is my daughters team. The orioles. She goes to hopkins. Its baltimore. Thats the royals. Oh. The orioles. But your dance but willie geist, the kansas city royals, they are an extraordinary story. Unbelievable. And the fact that they swept the angels is just kind of mind blowing. Angels had the best record in baseball this year, dominated their division, dominated the American League. The royals had to fight in, won a onegame playoff in extra innings to get in and sweep the best team in baseball, perhaps, in los angeles and move on. How cool is this alcs. Feels like its 1985 when you have the orioles and royals, going to be playing in baltimore on friday. Im going
