On the coming of that tremendous storm which for eight years desolated our country, Mr. Jefferson hesitated not, halted not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for.
I saw that the war could not be prevented. The time had passed.
Our government has failed us. From the billion-dollar bailouts to the 'stimulus' package that failed to stimulate to the government takeover of health care, you cried 'Stop!'... but the Democratic Majority in Washington has refused to listen.
I didn't come to Washington to be part of the problem.
In typical Washington fashion, nothing gets reformed until a disaster happens.
A concrete agenda and landslide victory might not even guarantee a president his mandate in a capital as polarized as Washington.
Our constituents did not send us to Washington to shut down the government. They sent us here to make it more accountable.
The time to hesitate is through.
A perfect storm is in the making: financial uncertainty, economic downturn, government cuts, rising unemployment and a future that looks less clear the more we try to fathom it.
The tolling of yon dismal bell and the loud but solemn discharge of artillery hath announced to the nation the melancholy tidings - Thomas Jefferson no longer lives!
