Reasons. And it is quite entirely possible that the fourth one may have second thoughts down the road. But anyway, thats the way it is. I have changed my party label but i have not changed my beliefs. Indeed my decision is about affirming the principles that have shaped my careers. I hope that the people of vermont will understand it. I hope in time that my colleagues will as well. I am confident that it is the right decision. What do you say to those people who only six months ago [inaudible] [cheers and applause] so what do you say to them . I understand.

Electronics from Wayne County Community colleges. Host what you make of the president s proposal . Caller i think it is excellent. I cannot understand people who are calling and saying that if i paid 10 years ago or five years ago, what do i get . And can i get my money back echo i am glad that what i paid what i paid when i paid. I came from a large family. And all working people, worked hard all her life. And i couldnt really afford college. All the timeouts going to Community College, i got some grants, but alice had to work while i was going. You still have to have food and transportation and a place to live.

I feel much better than i have in recent years. Thank you. I want to switch to follow on the question centered king had talked about in terms of the arctic. I will be a little more blunt. We have a dod 13 page Arctic Strategy and get when you look at what the russians are doing in the arctic, its actually quite president. Impressive but disturbing.
