Kendrick Meek: “I am not trying to one-up you. I am trying to provide information to the Members of the House and the American people.…”

“I am not trying to one-up you. I am trying to provide information to the Members of the House and the American people. You know we come in that vein every evening. I think it is very important that Members of Congress that have the July 17 edition of Time magazine, it says, ``The end of cowboy democracy: What North Korea, Iran, Iraq, teaches us about limits on going it alone,'' okay? That is what it says, ``going it alone.'' The real issue here, when you open the page, looks like a very worried Commander in Chief. He doesn't look like he is jumping up and down about everything that is great in the world. Because the bottom line is, we have done a lot on our own. It goes on in further detail to talk about how the administration now is trying to reach out to these countries. But meanwhile, as it relates to this majority rubber-stamp Congress, has allowed the President the ability to do anything and everything that he wants to do. I am so glad my rubber stamp has made it to the floor. I want to put it here. Because, as you know, we like to make things visible, so that people can understand what is going on here. The reason why we are in the situation that we are in now is the fact that the Republican Congress has rubber-stamped everything that the administration has handed down. This is not about the Commander in Chief. He is not going to run for election again. But you know what? In this Congress we run every 2 years for election.…”
