Political Quotes

“Before the Senator leaves, the Bible study that he has referenced is one that Jim and I and a handful of other Democrats and Republicans join in every Thursday when we are in session, with Barry Black, the Chaplain of the Senate, and it has been hosted literally in the hideaway of Jim Inhofe. So it is a home game for him, but it is a home game for Democrats and Republicans just to share some time together in prayer and faith and some of the challenges we face. Some people across the country watch the news all the time--you would think we hate each other here and we never want to work together, never want to get anything done. Thanks in no small part to Jim Inhofe's hospitality and participation and example, that is not the case. So I just want to add my comments as well. He is the two-time chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee and a great partner with me in reducing emissions from buses and diesel engines and stuff like that. He is the lead Republican on the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act. So I just want to say there are some good environmentalists in Oklahoma, and on all the issues we have dealt with, Jim Inhofe has been one of those.”
