I have had a career in public service.

When I was knowingly misled but only learned that much later, that's really when I started to become disillusioned at the White House.

We are disappointed at the decision. The president remains fully committed to building a culture of life ... that is built on valuing life at all stages.

I believe in working together to solve the problems we've got. And we need to get rid of the venom in the political atmosphere in D.C. It's a poisonous atmosphere.

I still like and admire George W. Bush. I consider him a fundamentally decent person, and I do not believe he or his White House deliberately or consciously sought to deceive the American people.

I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
