Probably not. Honesty isn’t part of his make-up.

[txlurker]

Federal government needs to do its job he says. We have to have comprehensive reform. Need to do it now. Prepared to work with both parties to get a bill that does a good job securing borders, illegals pay a fine, etc. Should be able to solve this problem.

[spectre]

Are you sure that’s not mud?

Heck no, I'm not sure...I'm no rocket scientist, BUT if it IS mud, it's being blown out and isn't staying in the hole...is it?

[gopwhit]

I would love someone to ask him about ANWR. Now he’s blathering about what “national guardspersons” can do.....

[marajade]

Drilling isn’t the problem; recovery is.

[MikeGranby]

Doesn’t sound the like NG are going to actually be stopping any illegals...

[antivenom]

what is with his WHISTLING his damn “sssssssssssss”?

[Rona Badger]

Q9 - Border and Boycott question (unless you count Jackie's follow-up Q from the NYT)
I live in So AZ and he doesn't have a CLUE what he is talking about. Why don't you come on down to Douglas / Nogales and see what is happening!

[Textide]

Don’t know about the flow amount, but there’s a whole new device on there now than there was 12hrs ago. All of the flow is coming through the device. Hopefully they can find that mud/cement balance to stop it!

[gopwhit]

AMNESTY is all he wants.

[TomGuy]

“I’m President of the US, I don’t support or not support boycotts.” Did I hear that correctly? Arizona under the bus again.

He didn't say but left the implication: 'But hey, if folks boycott AZ, that is their right.'

[Deo volente]

He’s sending 1200 file clerks to the border to shuffle papers and drink coffee.

[Fresh Wind]

No, they’re going to make is safer and easier for the illegals to pour across the borders. They’re going to be there to hand out green cards, food stamps, and voter registration cards.

SESTAK..BY MAJOR GARRETT

[spectre]

He's going to craft a plan for Legal immigration and enforcing laws, rules, etc.

Someone tell him we ALREADY have the laws on the books that are NOT being enforced?

[Raebie]

Sestek! Yes!! Go Major!!

[Dansong]

Major strikes!

[BulletBobCo]

Sestak, Wow

[Daisyjane69]

You beat me to it!

[marajade]

I was wrong about Garrett. But I knew Major would ask about Sestak.
