What we have not done is really have just been clear with the public or with, in many cases, the people who are making these tests, what we want. You know, there is just far too much happy talk. There is not enough what do we need, what is it going to take to get us there, and how are we going to do it. And so even today, it is all about excuses, about what we are doing for testing or not. Where is our strategic plan that lays out why we are going to use the test, how we are going to use the test, when will it be available? And we do not have that.

He is complaining about too much 'happy talk'. Notice who is happy and who is not.

It can always be worse, you could live in Syria...make a list of all your Gratitudes...

What comes to mind right now is when I spent 4.5 months in a rehab situation -- long messy story....

Two young people, one in a wheelchair wheeling around with no legs and one young girl brought into my room as a patient, with one leg amputated, they looked both in their 30's.....the young woman was a mother of 3 children...

Oh it can be worse...

I bet if I married your daughter and we gave you a grandchild to play with it would make you happy. Just imagine all the the fun of having a little one around without having to raise them. Happy! Happy!

Why would they bring a "young girl" into your room?
