I feel like I have the best job in politics, ... Right now, I'm not even thinking about (running for governor). |
I feel very strongly that we need a strong federal leader, |
I have four children, and they are my four greatest reasons to make sure we meet our goal of securing a strong future for Louisiana. |
I just think the state is going to have to be involved in that helpful way, ... I just want to express my deep frustration about folks in Baton Rouge who apparently are completely focused on why this can't work instead of figuring out how to make it work so we can get these communities through these very crucial next several months. |
I really think the biggest challenge is to convince those in Washington that we have a smart, bold plan to rebuild in the right way, |
I roll up my sleeves and actively get involved in that, in partnership with all of you. |
I think everyone did better after Rita because of the experience of Katrina, |
I think money is absolutely being wasted, ... Louisiana workers and Louisiana businesses are not being used. |
I think the ultimate test of this concept is what concrete, positive, bold action this produces. |
I think we've just dodged another bullet. |
I was really uplifted here. There are heroes to this story and they are the local leaders and private citizens who banded together in the individual communities that were devastated to just get the job done in the initial days, with no help in those initial days coming in from outside, they got it done and they are the real heroes. |
I welcome the boldness of his vision. ... Clearly the tough work remains to be done, and everybody, including Congress, needs to roll up their sleeves and get that work done. |
I would like to know what street that is because that's a crazy street, |
I'd love to see more written material that predates the nomination, |
I'd very much like to explore that, ... I know it's a big idea and it's very ambitious and costly, but I think we need to explore that, particularly a southern route going through Ascension and Livingston and connecting I-12 to I-10. |
