We had quite an experience that i know a lot of you think it must be just awful running for president because you got to go every night to a different host tom and you get debate after debate in the primaries among the general as well and you had you during press always at your heels. And yet the truth is, it is a magnificent experience because you get to see the country person by person, statebystate. The people who make the news or by a march doing something strange or unusual are typically not good. The people we get to see day in and day out are wonde
Existing distribution of power, wealth and property, conserve tim has been associated with societies where the few dominate the many, and i just think, especially the first part of that, that the conservativism, that the argument gets used to justify Big Government in many ways, that this idea of a resistance to change which, again, i think thats a good instinct. Its in the declaration of independence. Dont change unless you absolutely have to bass it will bring bat beside things but that argument, resistance to change, is corporateist protectionity. People use protectionism to use to tariff us but i use it to refer to stuff like the wall street bailouts. It was pinstripe protectionism. Wall street, people saying we have0 this economy, five big banks and they do good things, and yes, there are good things brought about by having giant investment banks that can create mere efficient flows of capital and can do things maybe 100 small banks cant do.

Had a pretty cushy coming in now, life coming up. I didnt know a lot of people who would serve in the military and you talk about the scourge of Sexual Assault in the military you are trying to address, which i think is great. I dont know a lot about the military, so when i hear that senator Barbara Mccaskill added misery seems to have a different approach to your proposed solution, i dont really combat it with a lot of expertise. I was wondering if you could address the contrast. Being that women agree on a lot of things, but we disagree on many things, too. But claire and i agree on a lot more than we disagree. Now we are working hand in glove on the Sexual Assault a College Campus issue. I still think the way the women in the senate work is really special. Women in the senate have a quarterly dinner.
