I resent Washington telling states, or the residents of those states, what to do and what to think.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I kept telling everyone I wasn't going to Washington to stay. I go to visit.
My intentions are to try to make this state better.
As president, I'm committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.
I will commit myself to making this state an even greater place to live, work and raise a family. I intend to reach out from border to border to hear first-hand from our citizens about their thoughts, concerns and ideas for our state.
We need to make people understand that there is a definite connection between what happens in their everyday lives and the decisions we make in Washington, D.C.
I'm not a Washington person.
My message to Washington is very simple. Face reality. Be leaders. Demonstrate accountability. Engage in principle compromise. And understand your job is to find solutions.
People have said to me 'I hope you won't let happen in Washington what is happening in Kansas.'
I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
Well, what I tried to do is simply to get out on the land. And when I came to Washington, I think one of the mistakes we made early on was kind of having an ideological dispute up in the Congress.
