Obama of putting "his own reelection ahead of the interests of working Americans and our national security"

Mr. Speaker, as we enter the final stages of this election cycle, the American people have a choice for change--promoting limited government with expanded freedom or big government with power to politicians. A key issue is job creation. I…

Mr. President, we are going to have a nice discussion between Republicans and Democrats about an important issue. If you are looking for bipartisanship, your ship has come in. S.J. Res. 41 has 82 cosponsors. I am not sure we could get 82…

Mr. President, this resolution has 83 cosponsors. Even I cannot lose this vote. This resolution says it will not be the policy of the United States to allow the Iranian regime to get a nuclear weapon and try to contain them. President…

Mr. President, before I turn this over, may I have just 2 minutes to wrap up. I want to thank Senator Reid and Senator McConnell for scheduling this vote. Eighty-two Senators stand behind President Obama's statement that it is bad policy…

Mr. President, I thank Senator Corker for his very good, country-by-country explanation; kind of a big picture, rational approach to what we are trying to do. I understand Senator Paul's convictions. A lot of Americans are frustrated. We…

Thanks to Senator Ayotte for helping to get this whole process going, for being on the Senate floor and for getting this whole process started, and for her strong voice on national security. Now I wish to recognize my friend, the Senator…

I thank Senator Blumenthal for those articulate words about the resolution and for his kind comments. Senator Lieberman was on the ground floor of this, as he is with everything, including bills to construct foreign policy for the country…

Just briefly. I was very disappointed in the briefing yesterday too. The bottom line is that we asked questions like: How many security people were at the Benghazi consulate? We will have to get back with you. And you pick up the New York…

I thank the Senator. It was very difficult politics. It was a very fragile but robust coalition back in the day. President Bush sent over two Cabinet Secretaries every week and was personally involved in trying to get comprehensive…

I thank Senator Isakson, who is on the Foreign Relations Committee. He is a ranking member on the African subcommittee. He has, frankly, opened my eyes with what we are doing in Africa. A little money goes a long way in Africa, trying to…

Mr. President, lucky you to be presiding today. We live in interesting times. You can receive a Nobel Peace Prize for not being somebody else. Now, 4 years later almost after the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded, where do we stand as a…

Mr. Speaker, on Friday, the administration released a report on how the President plans to implement the $600 billion defense sequester, threatening servicemembers, military families, and veterans. Politico explained it ``shed little new…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle wish to change the law, and that's fine. They just need to do it navigating this testy little thing we call the Constitution and respect the…
