He likes Barry:
CAO: Well, I admire President-Elect Obama. I believe that he’s an extremely talented man, a gifted man. And I believe that he can be the great president if he’s willing to work with everyone, including Republicans.
And he believes he won because...
CAO: That’s correct. And it’s also the seat that was held by a Democrat for at least 100 years. So it was – it has been very difficult for a Republican to even get close to winning the seat. But fortunately for me there was change in the atmosphere.
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. But, let's give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you are a change agent.
LAMB: The Republican Party has, I believe, besides you, three minorities in the entire House of Representatives, all, I think, Cuban-Americans based and from Florida. I may have missed one on that. But why would you, as a minority, pick the Republican Party?
CAO: Well, as you know I’m also a Roman Catholic. And as a Roman Catholic, I’m very much a pro life, and also being a father, having two children, I also espouse the family values that the Republican Party stresses.
So you're an across-the-aisle kinda guy, an Obama fanboy, and a self-professed example of the benefits of new blood in Washington who believes that... the members of the party with the current supermajority in Washington don't have wives or kids, or if they do, they don't really care about them? Because clearly if Barack, Hillary, and Nancy had been informed of this little family rule, they'd be on the other team. Too bad.
