Political Quotes

“Mr. President, the relationship we felt was based on trust and honesty. We never ever misled each other. I just love the Senator's staff. I really do. Our staff developed the same type of relationship that we developed--disagreeing on many things but understanding that we can work together and find common ground. I just hope, as I step out the door--Lord knows when that will be, given this place--that others will form this type of bond across party lines because without it, things just don't work right. I want my friend to know it has been a great pleasure to work with him in every way, shape, and form. One of us is from Venus and one of us is from Mars, and that is just the way it is. We just see the world differently, but it hasn't stopped us from putting aside those disagreements. We were never bitter with each other. We had a pretty big divide. One person said climate change is a hoax and the other said it is the biggest threat we have to deal with, but we knew there was no way we could come together so we kind of put it aside and didn't let it spoil our friendship or our ability to work together in any way. So I think it is a very important message to many chairmen and ranking members that if there is honesty--set it aside if you can't work together, but where you can find those sweet spots, do it because everyone wants--they are cheering us on from the outside.…”
