What a great speech by Senator Rubio. He has great leadership qualities. Not only does he come across as sincere and forthright, but also seems to have a great quality to unite when need be, something that is extremely important for any successful leader. Haven't seen the likes of him in our government in a very long time. I hope one day he decides to run for our top office.
Magistral.... Bravo..... He reminds us of Obama at the beginning, with a key difference: Marco Rubio believes in the "exceptionalism of America", Obama thinks that America has been and still is "unfair". There is an ocean of difference between the two visions, I align myself with Marco Rubio The other difference is that Rubio doesn't need a Teleprompter
Every time I hear Senator Rubio speak, and as a Floridian I've been listening a long time, his positive outlook, his sincerity and his obvious pride in America reaffirms my own beliefs in the exceptionalism of this great country. Thank you, Senator Rubio.
In a word... wow. And this guy's only going to get better with age! Watch Rubio become a major player in the coming decade and ultimately secure the party nomination for the GOP's Presidential candidate. Rubio & Christie are a breath of fresh air, hopefully they and their generational peers can blow away just enough of the dank and stale cloud that currently pollutes Washington so they can effect sensible and positive changes.
marco rubio is my generations' ronald reagan. i hope to be able to cast a vote for him for president one day in the future. and sooner rather than later.
Sen. Rubio reaffirms my faith in politicians who are true to their values and what they believe is right. I am proud that Marco voted NO on this debt increase. He is a special gift to our Congress and I see a bright future for him in our Government. I sincerely hope that in his time Marco Rubio will say, "Yes, I will run for President as a true conservative Republican." He is a hope for Americans to see how our country can really be, not how it is now.
Senator Marco Rubio gets it. His love for America, his knowledge of what our country was meant to be by our Founding Fathers. God bless Marco and his family. He is a shining light in a sea of disappointments with so many of those elected. I pray one day he will be President, I know everyone I know will vote for him. Thank you Marco for speaking out and your passion.
I can think of no greater waste of this guy's talents than to be the Vice President of the United States. No Republican expresses it better. He should not carry someone's water. Top of the ticket or Majority Leader in the Senate. Playing the game isn't winning the game. Vision, principle, integrity and honor; these are things that constitute great leaders.
I voted for him. Very proud of him. That being said, it will be hard to have him run for the top of the ticket in the 2012 election after the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has proven what inexperience does for you. He is the clear choice of whoever runs for he GOP ticket to pick him as their running mate. Can you IMAGINE him debating Biden? Popcorn time!
" Restore our Republic" This senator gets it! We are a Republic not a Democracy. Our elected officials should stop calling America a Democracy. and remember that not once is Democracy mentioned in our Constitution or the Bill of Rights. He is a future president in waiting.
How can you argue with anything he said in this speech? I think he outlined the situation and our options quite well. Democrats have a hard time arguing with this guy because they can’t drop the race card right off the bat, they can’t say he came from a privileged family…. All they can do is say he got corporate money. Something all politicians do… at least he gets his from American business owners with American interest in mind unlike Obama.
Didn't want to stick around and finish up that FAA stuff, Rubio? You'd rather grandstand instead? You guys are clowns. Better freshen up your resume pal, because you're out of a job the first chance we get.
