“I don't believe that the American people want us to focus on our job security. They want us to focus on their job security. I don't think they want more gridlock. I don't think they want more partisanship. I don't think they want more obstruction. They didn't send us to Washington to fight each other in some sort of political steel-cage match to see who comes out alive. That's not what they want. They sent us to Washington to work together, to get things done, and to solve the problems that they're grappling with every single day.” PeopleThinkingWantBelieveDoneProblemTogetherJobsPoliticalFightingFocusAliveSecurityDon't BelieveSolveWorking TogetherSteelCagesWant UThings DonePartisanshipObstructionGrapplingGridlock Author:Barack Obama

It is idiotic to try to bamboozle them.” KnowsTryingWellsDoeRunningJobsDemocracyGreaterHigherInvestmentWorkersRegionsSteelPitsClosureIdioticRailwayRedundancyBamboozle Author:Anthony Crosland

Then all of a sudden my reaction changes from "How shiny and beautiful they all are!" to "Get that damned thing out of my mouth!” JobsBeautifulLanguageFiguresWallSpeechMouthsBibleTablesInstrumentsReactionsComplexitySteelTechnologicalIntriguingPolishedDentistInvokeHanging OnFigures Of Speech Book:Whose Bible Is It?: A Short History of the Scriptures Source: Whose Bible Is It?: A Short History of the Scriptures
