I rarely ever
stay up late for any reason; even company. A friend of mine several years ago
got so tired of his guests that he went to his bedroom, put on his pajamas and
reappeared to say “goodnight” to his guests. Well, I wouldn’t go quite that
far. But Tuesday afternoon I wanted to see just what Senator Cruz had up his
sleeve and so I began to watch – and listen, critically, I might add, to what
he had to say in his attempt to keep the floor of the Senate occupied as long
as he could stand. The Senator from Texas impressed me with his knowledge,
ability and desire to deliver what should have been a convincing argument for

innumerable “exceptions,” seemingly granted to President Obama’s friends and even
including Congress. And so I stayed up much of the night to listen to what he
had to say.

the President had lied to them and that this new law was turning out to be a
huge job killer to all the hard working men and women who helped him get elected,
he wrote a very uncomplimentary letter to
the President venting his anger at their betrayal. Senator Cruz read the
letter during his time on the floor. Needless to say, this new law is very
unpopular with the Teamsters.....To Read More.......
