I haven't been in Washington long, but I have learned that it is a place filled with people who say one thing to get elected and do the opposite once they get there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.
I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.
I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.
Washington is like playing the Super Bowl, only there are no timeouts, no potty breaks, and the arena is filled with the media. In government, you have to learn to put yourself second in a big way. But I am a business person at heart. I like to be in charge.
Most of the people who live in Washington come from other places and you can learn something from them.
Washington is a place where politics and economics often aren't on speaking terms.
Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.
I'm the only honest person in Washington.
Honestly, the egos and the quest and thirst for power is very prevalent in Washington.
I'm not a Washington person.
