These are literally the building blocks of our planetary system.

Wes is a very smart hitter. He's not tall, but it's very hard to block him. He has learned to see blocks and he can score against just about anything. That's what he likes most -- the hitting thing. He also worked hard at the setting thing because I asked him to.

What the Congress and the companies are able to work out, we'll support and cooperate with so long as it does not involve a summary decision by the Congress that blocks this transaction.
