that's what she said Jason's Demetia

There's an old saying: "Those who speak, don't know; and those who know, don't speak." I don't know if that's true or not, but I know that by and large the press doesn't care who really knows what as long as they've got a quote. Last Friday, we had our Week Ahead meeting in the Roosevelt Room. Some of you were there, most of you weren't, but I'm talking to all of you now. Bruno Gianelli and I were leading a discussion about whether or not the President should stop in Kansas on his way back from the West Coast, and I remarked that the Vice President is polling better than the President right now in the Plains states... ...and that if the President is re-elected, it's gonna be on the Vice President's coattails. That remark made its way to a White House reporter. We're a group. We're a team. From the President and Leo on through, we're a team. We win together. We lose together. We celebrate and we mourn together. And defeats are softened and victories sweetened because we did them together. And if you don't like this team then, there's the door... It's great to be in the know. It's great to have the scoop, to have the skinny, to be able to go to a reporter and say, "I know something you don't know." And so the press becomes your constituents and you sell out the team. So, an item will appear in the paper tomorrow, and it'll be embarrassing to me and embarrassing to the President. I'm not gonna have a witch hunt. I'm not gonna huff and puff. I'm not gonna take anyone's head off. I'm simply gonna say this: you're my guys. And I'm yours. And there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my word count total. I took like a week off there for a bit, to recharge my batteries, but I’ve come back strong. Finished chapters three, four, five, and six. Here’s my current word count:

On July 23rd of this year, my life pretty much changed forever. Today being November 23rd, it’s been four months since then, and I wanted to write a post about how I feel since then.
No one ever said that this was going to be easy. Relationships rarely are in the general shouting distance of easy, if they’re worth anything to anyone. Even friendships have their problems that must be worked through. Julia and I have had our respective experiences and bring the wisdom gained to the table. I try my best to be as understanding as I possibly can with her, and I know she does the same for me. Although we encounter the occasional rough patch, it never seems to last longer than it should. It doesn’t get dragged out or saved for later as a grudge to be held when the next argument surfaces like others tend to do.
We’re learning more about each other every day, and she’s understanding me better as I come to understand her. I think most times, she’s a little surprised by my reaction, or lack thereof, but that was just in the first month or so. Now, it seems like she and I are communicating better. We’re certainly not yet sick of our respective company. She’s a little bewildered by my continued presence; I think she thinks I’m going to get sick of her and take off, but I don’t forsee that happening at all. If I get sick of someone, I’ll get that feeling from the beginning and so far I’ve not had that feeling at all. Julia doesn’t have anything to be insecure about in the slightest. I’m here to stay.
Every now and again, we’ll see a commercial for eHarmony.com or Match.com about tips on how to land that perfect someone, and we exchange that knowing glance like, “Yeah, we don’t need it.” It’s a great sappy feeling and I love it.
I love her.
