But change the law, but don’t blame me for the law. I’m not writing the law. I didn’t write the law Picture Quote #1

Obama had reached out to the business community, they just haven’t liked all of his decisions and some of his rhetoric. But generally, I think the administration is quite open and accessible Picture Quote #1

Moneymaking was never anything to me. I was happy never making money; I just was happy doing things I liked. But I fell into the money thing. I now don’t feel guilty about it, but I am determined to give away the bulk of it and enjoy doing it Picture Quote #1
