"I think this is another example of the President's uncertain policies with respect to United States and our relationships to Europe. Here is a country that was on its way to joining Europe and what would be our largest trading partner. With the disruption of democracy, the President has not stood for, let's ensure that this country has a stable democracy and looks to the West. Obviously Putin has been playing to try to pull the country in the other direction. This is a great concern and I think certainly the West needs to step up."

"I've been to the Pentagon over the past couple of weeks and they are still looking at the effect of the Presidents sequestration, even though it is a two year budget deal. The President's sequestration is over a ten year period as they look to what might happen in 16. They are trying to make some tough choices. It's going to be Congress's job to step in and move those numbers up and make certain that we fix 16."
