E first and Caldwell Butler and we met at that point and said is there we really allthat of us could agree on. Either an constitute process, abuse of say, and we went through all of the evidence that pretty convincing knew think at that point i who was voting for and who least their inclination and we went public respectivey with our speeches. You were a 34yearold from maine and a republican so a member of your by party facing impeachment a committee you served on. It was not a happy moment. Distressed through the. I knew it would be the most beortant decision i would called upon to make. I tried to be as well prepared as i could.

In fact, the president s popularity is so bad around the world today that i heard this report from a source that the kenyan government is actually developing proof that barack obama was actually born in america. [laughter] [applause] the fact of the matter is we are in a very serious time. I was in israel six months ago and i spoke with Prime Minister netanyahus Senior Adviser and he pulled me aside and he said in 2016 America Needs to elect a wartime president.
