Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I wish to speak about the FISA bill, but before I do, I want to express what is in every one of our hearts--our grieving with the Joe Biden family. That family has had more than its share of tragedy, but what it has produced is, in the case of Beau Biden, an extraordinary public servant who served his country not only by elected office but by serving in uniform as well. Most of us in this Chamber know the Biden family. The dad and the now mom, Joe and Jill, are extraordinary human beings who have contributed so much. It is not necessarily easy to be in public service as long as the Vice President has been and still raise a family that is so extraordinarily accomplished and contributes so much. Then to have that eldest son taken from him is like a dagger into our hearts. So we grieve with the family. We grieve for them and with the Nation. I just wish to put that on the record. ____________________”
