They consciously decided not to figure out which of their really abominable conservative policy priorities to prioritize. Instead, anything that came out of the Obama White House they were against. What they recognized is that when you've lost the White House and the House of Representatives and the Senate, you're not setting the agenda anymore. We progressives find ourselves in a similar situation now.

Helen A. RosburgWhen I got inside, I just sort of stood there. There's nothing stranger than the smell of someone else's house. The scent goes right to your stomach.

I could have slept right there on their kitchen table.

James Allen HallThis is a president [Barack Obama] who came into office in 2008 with a big majority in the House and with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Chris ChristieOur law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner.
