It Is An Apple Full Of Worms

This President's Committed To Taking Steps To Move The Middle East Peace Process Forward, To Bringing The Two Parties To The Table To Negotiate A Lasting Peace. That Is The Only Way That A Two-state Solution Can Be Achieved That Provides The Security That Israel Deserves And Needs And The Sovereignty That The Palestinian People Seek.

The Debate We Won't Be Having Is Whether Or Not The Debt Ceiling Should Be Raised. We Will Not Have A Situation Where People Will Hold The American Economy Hostage In Order To Achieve A Specific Agenda - At Least Not Until 2013. So We Think That Is Incredibly Important As A Matter Of Economic Good.

And It's Important To Remember We Are All Responsible - Or Certainly The Elected Members In Washington Of Both Parties Are Responsible For Making Decisions And Choices To Ensure That The Economy Grows And Jobs Are Created.

We Certainly ... Hope That The Congress Will Act In An Appropriate Fashion And Not Waste Its Time With Ineffectual, Sham Legislation On Keystone Xl That Has No Impact On The Price Of Gas And Is Irresponsible Because It, As We've Said Before, Tries To Legislate The Approval Of A Pipeline For Which There Is Not Even A Route.

When This President Was Sworn Into Office, He Was Handed A Deficit Of Over A Trillion Dollars. Republicans Were In Control Of Congress For Much Of The Time That President George W. Bush Was In Office, And They Didn't Do A Great Job Of Controlling Spending.
