Differently. Ive taken look at the things that lincoln did do in foreign releases without saying he did everything or everything right, by the way. He made some mistakes too. Was foreign policies all tied in to the civil war . Well, we treat the civil war period in this. I have a chapter early on about the mexican war. Lincoln was a freshman congressman in the house of representatives during the end of the mexican war in the 1840s. Lincoln was opposed to the origin of the mexican war. One of the first speeches in the house of representatives was this very strided speech opposing the origin of the war and president. He became known for that speech. And political opponents, by the way, used it against him in later campaigns. Steven douglas used it in the late 1850 when running against lincoln and came up in the president ial campaign as well. During his presidency, what is an issue he worked on or had secretary of state worked on. That wasnt necessarily tied to the civil war . Well, it w
Trying to get them to lay off sanctions . You are stringing a bunch of things along. Let us see if we can have a question . That is a lot less than henry had. [laughter] i thought we were trying to get along. [laughter] how about i separate out the iran question from the Health Care Question . On the Health Care Question, i think i have answered several times this is a new iteration of it. Bottom line is that we are going to continue to work every single day to make sure that implementation of the Health Care Law and the website and all elements of it, including the grandfather clause, work better, every single day. As i have said in Previous Press conferences, we are going to make mistakes. And we are going to have problems. But my intentions have been clear throughout. I just want to help as many people as possible feel secure, and make sure they do not go broke when they get sick. We are going to keep on doing that.

[indiscernible] isi am pointing out it ironic for somebody who has declared on National Television they are no longer willing to negotiate. The president has said clearly what his principles are, they are encapsulated in his budget, and you and all republicans will have the opportunity to pour over the details in the couple weeks. Back to what you plan to do with them, he is not going to convene negotiations [indiscernible] going to try to sell these things to the republic to the public . You can expect the president will do what he has done the last several weeks, to lay out clearly what his principles are, priorities are to put in place to increase economic opportunity.
