I don't think anybody that knows me would think that I'm so understanding. Most people say I'm too pushy, I'm too aggressive, I'm too assertive, I'm too confrontational. That I ask for too much. I've never been considered patient, or even conciliatory in most instances. But I don't think anything happens in a short period of time. Particularly when you're talking about dealing with Congress and government. It just doesn't happen.
