Putin made a statement about the elections, sort of acknowledging that they would take place, probably a good thing, i think was his language. We acknowledge that he said that the referendum should be stopped, but it didnt stop the referendum. William hague a few moments ago told you that it is in the attitude and behavior that you make this judgment about what is being done. Im not going to start laying out a whole series of definitions, except to say to you that it is clear what proxies mean. If russia or its proxies disrupt the elections, stand in the way of the ukrainian people being able to exercise their vote, that is when and if there would be additional sanctions, but our hope is that russia will join in to encourage the vote, that russia will encourage prorussian separatists to say that they should work through the process that has now been opened up, that russia has helped insist on, that that process now be given a chance to work through the osce and otherwise. That is our p
Since at least some of the drama surrounding speeches involved protesters perspective that the day should be about the graduates and not the arguably, contentious views of the speakers. But that is not the path that the speakers at haverford and smith chose. William bowen, former president of Princeton University and Andrew Mellon foundation was as another of Honorary Degree recipients already scheduled to speak sunday at haverfords ceremony. En in his first bite of the apple as he called the initial 10 minute speech he told story that made fun of Honorary Degree holders everywhere. In days leading up to commencement, bowen said via email he was encouraged to Say Something about the rather confused controversy and might look as if you were simply duck it. Bowen did not hold back. He disputed statement by one of the protesters that the berkeley chancellor withdrawal was a small victory for the college. It represents nothing of the kind, bowen said, i regard this out come as defeat, pure
Congress. I think one of the answers on becoming involved in primaries is kind of a manifestation of what their problem is. The fact that the congress and the House Republican size of the congress is more conservative is not because the chamber has failed. That is just the consequence of how politics and demographics has worked out. They become involved in a way that changes that dynamic some way. In 2012 they were only involved in two primaries. One was a senate race in missouri. I think you will see more of that. Hey are trying to get voices they will listen to them. Get more moderate voices. You saw his argument on the debt ceiling. It is an incredible threat to american business. It is a threat to his institution if the country goes into default. Whether the country will go into default is mainly a threat right now. It will more than likely get resolved. A lengthy talk of one creates economic hardships for his membership. That is what he is going to be doing. Could you read between
Joining us on newsmakers, the president and ceo. He covered Economic Issues for the washington post. I was talking with some folks on the hill about being on that show. I said what should i ask him. He said ask him why it has become such a paper tiger. Over the past couple of years, your priorities have not fared as well as the priorities of some of the more conservative, rightwing organizations like heritage and clubg for growth. We do not have Immigration Reform yet. We said we do not have infrastructure spending. You talk about the transformation of the Republican Party and white seems to be so difficult to advance the interest . I do not agree with the argument that we are having difficulty. Inyou look at our record the courts, if you look at our record which has a lot to do with the regulatory process, if you look at our record in the senate which is important, if you look at a lot of the rings that were doing, some of those things are not making things happen. An arm of the Repub
With the regulatory process, if you look at our record in the senate which is important, if you look at a lot of the rings that were doing, some of those things are not making things happen. We are not an arm of the Republican Party and do not want to be. I think that some of the people have created an agenda that is detrimental to republicans that are trying to make this economy stronger and trying to help them get Economic Growth so we can start to hire people. I do not really worry about the reaction that somebody would say if we are a paper tiger we are the toughest in town. They could lose it. In 2011 you said if you do not vote to raise the debt ceiling we will get rid of you. It is not appear that the guys that voted against were gotten rid of. That is a good question to ask. That is a current issue. I can tell you where we would be. It is insane we do not go out to dinner so much are would you default on your mortgage . What that would do to the legitimacy of the American Econo
