Great website. It was a promise to make available to millions of americans quality, Affordable Health insurance. No one will be held accountable for not hiring somebody who knows this stuff . We have addressed that question. Were about the business right now of making improvements necessary so that this benefit, that some americans clearly want is available to them. And the fact that we, in the first month plus of this exercise threw up so many obstacles in the ways of americans who wanted this benefit is our responsibility and we have acknowledged that and addressed it and we continue to do so and we still have a lot of work to do.

[laughter] wrong again. [laughter] no, i it was, i wrote that very seriously. It was a very serious moment. It obviously comes up from time to time. I did believe id reached the end of the line, and it was, as i said in the book, it was not frightening. I was at peace, and it was more difficult for my family to consider than it was more we to consider. For me to consider. The miracles of had earn medicine, one night 20 units of blood and installed a pump, then i got the transplant thanks to a donor. So every day when i wake up, you know, ive got a smile on my face, thankful for a day i never thought id see again. Its, it really affects your sense of whats important and what isnt.

Neighbor or Family Member is hearing next week i will ask you killed in the course of the about syria and also the operations. Do you agree with general iranian threat. I do not think those are mcchrystal and director hayden corporate in open session. Just two final questions about the backlash of strikes from the targeted killings at one has to do with priories that this point . I am not talking about the. Ou have said initial strikes. That is something that we need to be mindful of in terms of reaction, any type of u. S. In recent years paramilitary operations had consumed a lot of counterterrorism activities resources, expertise, time, that involve the dropping of energy, and efforts at the cia. Ordnance. Whether it is a remotely piloted do you believe this has been at aircraft or man, we need to take the expense of traditional cia that into account, but i would not agree with those statements responsibility collection, because what we have found in analysis, all sorts .
