“I thank my friend. The gentleman from California is absolutely right that to have sustainable movement of this country forward, it does take both sides of the aisle--Republican side of the aisle and Democratic side of the aisle. I would suggest to my friend that Democrats did not have control of the House, did not bring legislation, or litigation, if you will, against President Bush. And I would suggest to my friend, take a look at the number of executive orders that Ronald Reagan issued, that Bill Clinton issued, that George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush issued, compared to President Obama. I appreciate your willingness to let me speak and just get that in. Again, I urge the passage of the Defense Production Act.”
