They’re hiding in their houses. They’re afraid of bin Laden. They’re afraid of Hussein. They’re afraid of not being able to make their mortgage payment. They’re just afraid in general. And while they’re afraid, they’re spectacularly inattentive,” he said.

As for what else he said – - The nation is not napping, the nation is not locked up in their homes scared of everything and gripping their mortgage papers. We’ve not lost our ability to think and decide for ourselves.
