Balance the budget. He was unconventional, theres no question about it. But he was able to get people to do things they didnt think they themselves could do. He believed in the importance of leaving Something Better for our children and grandchildren than what we found.

He went back to ohio, he ran for governor, and as governor in ohio, he has done the same thing. Provide the kind of tough, conservative lead
Turkey, jordan and arab allies if it is to be a coalition, and if arab muslim participation is crucial to some ultimate success . Is a public role possible for them . The public role is not only possible, its essential.

Injured. Clearly in this kind of situation, ambulances are the sort of Emergency Services one would expect. We heard from a local member of the parliament in the area that in fact police have now established contact with the suspects. The two men holed up in that warehouse. This is a keep moment now in this whole operation. You have French Special units of the police. We have an external perimeter where journalists are held back in the town. People have been evacuated from schools, people have been told to get home stay away from the windows. Theres a tight parameter of the police who are special forces taxes. Who are around the warehouse. Those key figures are experienced negotiators. Probably focussing on one individual at a time these negotiators will expect to work.

Ive traveled as i said all over the United States many times. But theres one state in particular that you just cant get past. Its always stood out. Its way down south but among all the states those are the friendliest people in the whole country. There is no getting around even when it even when i was a student at Duke University we would go to South Carolina to buy fireworks and they were always friendly to us. That might have changed nowadays but the important part is the people. The people were always hospitable and each which way.
