The one who asks questions doesn't lose his way

The only delay, ... is that when you are dealing with 50 states, 12 investment banks, a significant number of regulatory entities, simply getting sign-offs, drafting agreements on stray words takes a bit of time.

The only reason I'm bringing my condition to your attention now is because the swelling of a lymph node near my left ear has become noticeable to viewers of TNT, and there have been questions asked. My plan is to work the rest of the NBA season and playoffs, go to the beach with my wife, Cheryl, and our four kids, and start a treatment regimen in late June, which will likely include chemotherapy. And then I'll go back to work.

The point is, am I going to let Mary Smith and these other nice, older women be sent out of here thinking they'll have a voucher for the rest of their lives, when Congress is looking to cut the program? They're going to be in Miami somewhere, and they'll be homeless. That's why the fight is going on.

The perceived impact of the delay may be the real issue to contend with for (chip) stocks in the near-term.
