“You know I am very proud of this Congress and the way we are working together. I know the press has reported primarily controversy around campaign practices of the White House and the last election and some other things, but underneath that we are doing the people's business, and the negotiations around the budget that have gone on have been frank, serious talks about how do we through common sense reach the goal of a balanced budget and return fiscal sanity to this Nation. Just today on the House floor, I guess it was yesterday on the House floor, we passed an adoption and foster care reform bill so that children will not get caught in abusive homes and they will not get lost in our foster care system, and we did that bipartisanly, both parties working together, both parties here on the floor talking about the ways in which this bill would help children in America, some of our concerns about that bill as well, and today had a long debate about housing, public housing policy, and we will bring forward in the next few days a bill by bipartisan vote.”
