A basic tenet of a healthy democracy is open dialogue and transparency.

President Barack Obama has it right - there is a lot to change about Washington. The problem is, not much will get changed unless we confront the runaway filibuster in the U.S. Senate.

In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.

(We're planning) a healthy, open dialogue realizing that no one jumped to any conclusion and making sure that all voices are heard,

Depending on what he has out there, I told him we'd keep the dialogue open.

I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.
