40 word years and still feel that way. But it was fascinating. I met wonderful people. And that awful people and i met with a much clearer understanding of how it sometimes can happen and why change also doesnt happen that i think has been really useful to me and how i talk to people and how i write and so forth. It would be really useful if i ever went back in a Different Administration in different plays. When people come and say should i do this, i usually say absolutely. That doesnt mean you should stay forever. If you care about any Public Policy issue by the on the new National Care decide whether domestic policy side, if you care about being an advocate or a reformer, you will learn so much that is valuable in your credibility will be forever higher if you go and learn a little bit or how it works and how it doesnt work.

Some points steve and i disagree on. Ill just jump off the cliff here. I actually think we disagree quite vehemently on where the line is between permissible unilateral president ial war making and when the president has to go to congress. Its just that thats not where we are today.
