Quote: Washington

From Obama’s recent speech in PA (video below):

First of all, the people of D.C are wonderful. They're nice people, they're good people; love the city, the monuments, everything.

But when you're in Washington, folks respond to every issue, every decision, every debate, no matter how important it is, with the same question: What does this mean for the next election? What does it mean for your poll numbers? Is this good for the Dem or good for the GOP? Who won the news cycle? That's just how Washington is. They can't help it. They're obsessed with the sport of politics.
