imo, Text helps ground the spirit of video. It's always good to have two media for understanding important ideas.

You make a good point. Would that Republicans showed the nerve to work with us, even if it's just to keep votes back home. Isn't it a pity that we have to be the ones to move those people out of their fact free world view of things and focus on doing the people's business, and not that of their owners'.
