Kendrick Meek: “The real issue here is the fact that, Madam Speaker, I am done with trying to beg the majority to lead. I am just done.…”

On the recordApril 25, 2006
The real issue here is the fact that, Madam Speaker, I am done with trying to beg the majority to lead. I am just done. I mean, there is nothing more that we can say. They have had their opportunity. They have their opportunity now. They are still not moving as a majority. We have said what we would do as Democrats. The bottom line is Ms. Wasserman Schultz talked about the rubber stamp. It is now so big, Mr. President, whatever we can do, whatever you need us to do, we are with you. Just, that is it. Done. What else do you want us to do? And that is just where it is. And we are going to make this as obvious as possible.
