Pawlenty left a LOT of messes here in Minnesota. To me, the following is what I'll remember Tim Pawlenty for:
"Children who are victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem, nor are they the problem for our government." -- Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty, April 2001 - as quoted in the Aitkin Independent Newspaper (entire column here)
"Children who are victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem, nor are they the problem for our government."
And he wants to be president.....
