Political Quotes

“I appreciate the privilege to be recognized to address you here on the floor, and I appreciate the gentleman from Texas' previous hour and his discussion on health care. By the way, the gentleman from Texas, Congressman/Dr. Burgess' contribution on this health care debate that has gone on now for months and months and months, his intensity doesn't let up. He understands the issue. He is here on a cause, and this cause is to do what we can to salvage the system that America has had and improve that system and not capitulate to this system of ObamaCare. Madam Speaker, I will take us to that, and I will cross a number of lines into different subjects here this evening. But with regard to the ObamaCare that we have heard about for the last hour and for the last 9 or so months, we have seen a Congress that has passed legislation that on the day it passed the House, it couldn't have passed the Senate. On the day it passed the House, we don't know what kind of bargains came in that brought about just barely the votes to get it passed, but we knew the President would sign it. He wanted anything that he could put his name on. By the way, the President of the United States is the one who gave the moniker to this legislation, 'ObamaCare.' He called it ObamaCare February 25 at the Blair House at that conference on health care that seemed to have given the ObamaCare its legs. I am for 100 percent repeal of ObamaCare.”
