Rep. Capito (R) of West Virginia: “I see this as another issue where I’ve got to weigh what’s best for my constituents and how they want and then consider what I think is good policy and what the president wants. You’d hope they’d be along the same lines, but that doesn’t happen all the time … There is a problem, and I do think personal savings accounts is something we should look [at]. Unfortunately it’s become so politicized and there’s been so many lines in the sand drawn, I’m not sure what kind of life it’s going to have.”

What’s best for the constituents versus what the president wants. Interesting way to put it.
