Americans who may be going to the largest embassy we've ever had.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the best of all worlds everyone in the Embassy is doing something to assist U.S. exports.
The whole notion of an embassy is like 'The Other.' That's what makes Washington interesting.
I think that ISIS is a threat to our embassy, to our consulate, as well as potentially to the American people.
The question really is how do we get Embassy Officers into the minds of the American business community. That is a much more difficult task than understanding a statistical matrix.
Everybody wants to be American, it seems; I travel enough to know.
I work a seventeen hour day, and I'm personally responsible for 108 staff members in the embassy.
We'd play at the Ambassador's house for an invited group of dignitaries from the government that might have gone to school in America; to the U.S. Consulate that invites certain people that they're trying to target.
I'm always trying to be a good ambassador for my country.
I didn't come here without a visa, like everyone from China and Vietnam and Cuba. I came here by special plane... received by the ambassador, by the president of the United States. I should be the most honored man in your country.
I won't let any ambassador have a say about my foreign travels.
