Tough times require a tough leader— and nobody's ever gotten in an arena with me who didn't walk out with a broken nose.
When President Clinton wanted to create healthcare for 10 million children, pass an assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill, I got the ball and the bat.
When President Obama wanted both banking reform and healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions, I got the call again.
When Chicago had the shortest school day and shortest school year in the country without universal kindergarten, I took charge and we moved our graduation rate from 56 to 83% — and Stanford called us the single best system in the top 100.
I get the anger. I’m angry, too. We can channel that anger into fixing our schools or exacting political revenge. I’m for education.
And my fight is going to be focused on the future and clearing a path to a middle-class life for more Americans — not about scoring points.
@RahmEmanuel You’ve made a stronger case for why you should be President than any of the “candidates”. And you’ve gained even more credibility over the years as Mr. Ambassador. You have my vote!
@JonBbC_TechGeek I have never been able to get it to pull into my driveway. It wants to go in between the houses nearby me. My google location is incorrect so I’m assuming this has something to do with it
@WallStreetApes Obviously you’ve never been almost run over by some 12 year old kid, with the mind of a 5 year old one, riding on the sidewalk at 25 mph. I hope there’s a rider on the bill that the parents pay a fine too and after 3 tickets they go to jail.
@Noahpinion You can. As long as there’s no reporting structure involved. Employees of like “rank” and no reporting can. If there is someone at a level higher with reporting directly of the other they can’t. Well, can unless they get caught and then the higher rank person has to go.
