Enjoy reading it. I look forward to visiting with you a little bit about it. Hopefully creating a little interest because i think it is certainly a worthy read. You write in the prologue, prologue, when politics is broken, we should fix it. You describe religion and religious people as a gift to politics and that religion puts politics in its proper place. As someone who has lived a little bit of politics myself i know it can become allconsuming and it can become god. You tell a story in your 1982 reelection when you were running against harriet would. I almost lost it. Your family, and efforts to encourage you and a little despondency about the race, can you recall that story that your daughter, i think she was 15 at the time. My third daughter dede, i never thought that i had the chance to lose the election. I thought that was going to be fairly easy and then maybe three weeks or so before election day, a pole came out and it showed that i was dead even with my opponent. I thought im
Nominations, nlrb or of those, if youre president and you are liberal left, so you want the nlrbt somebody in that happens to be on the payroll forbors the last 20 years, you know, you probably couldnt bet him senate orrepublican even if the democrats controlled with 55 or something, probably couldnt. So youre going to have to get somebody more mainstream. Got 51, full speed ahead. So you can put in somebody the e. P. A. Or so on, because you can get your people in. Figured that who ever won the election should be given great latitude on putting and so on. Ople but in some cases where you have this administration put aretivists and people who really far to the left, you a 60 vote threshold would have stopped that and it would stopped a bunch of nominees in the past couple days. Mentioned robert byrd, he and i both testified before the against changing the threshold from 60 to a majority. Of newhole bunch democrat senators who have been in the smalt for a year or two oh, we got to chang
Medical isolation room, the child or her children are assigned to that room with her, isnt that a fact . Are you talking about a particular case . Im not aware of that. Generally. When a woman is assigned to a medical isolation room, her child would be assigned to that room as per the reports that ill put into the record at this point. The mothers and children allegedly locked in a dark room for protesting detention conditions and also thats a think progress article. And also for the record, id like to tender a New York Times Magazine Article entitled a federal judge and a Hunger Strike take on the governments immigration detention facility. Without objection. And youre aware of those reports of the Hunger Strike and the woman with the 11yearold child who was placed in the medical Isolation Unit . And the assertion in the New York Times article that there is barb wires at our family facilities which is not the case. In the medical Isolation Units, those units are the unit that this wom
Of changes to the controversial programs. But a president ial Advisory Panel did not call for them to w you the most important once. First of all, ending of storage of telephone records, metadata that is kept millions upon millions of phone calls. Next, new limits on what data government can demand from private companies. We saw this when hezbollah of companies came to meet with president obama. Theyre worried about the trust of their companies and theyre worried about their businesses. This is a key point brought up time and time again. Bilateral relations have suffered among many angela merkel, the leaders of brazil, and you can determine if these are allies being spied on recommend that they not spy on one another. Next, the new public advocate at the secret fisa court. This has been suggested time and time again. When its told it wants to conduct surveillance there is no one there on the ground of civil liberties, a socalled public advocate. And finally the new nsa director should
Hold mr. Obama himself accountable for what is now a fiasco. Its a decided change of voice and tone within the democratic party. She called on the white house to delay the obama care enrollment deadline until health care. Gov is working properly. Fellow democrats, senator bill nelson of florida calling the obama carolout inexcusable. He told the white house to fire whoever is responsible for the barely functional website on which the Obama Administration spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Congressman rick nolan of minnesota, another democrat, effectively told the president to grow up and take ownership of the obama care mess and to fix it. Congressman nolan told president obama to quote, man up, let us know who is responsible and who was in charge here and fire them. And tonight, the liberal National Media seems less comfortable with the Obama Administration.
