On the recordJanuary 19, 2007
Our level of participation in the floor debate and in the design of this agenda could not have been more robust and full from the beginning of the process to the end. If anything has been suppressed or held back, in fact, it was the 100 hours agenda, not the process or the new Members of Congress that are again beginning our time here in the House. He was a wonderful man. He is certainly not maybe the typical blow-dried politician of the 21st century but he had a street wisdom that I think still resonates to this day. Of course, he coined the most famous phrase, which is that all politics is local.
