Political Quotes

“this is one of those big days in Washington. It happens every year with the President's State of the Union Address. We look forward to it. It is an opportunity for the entire membership of the Senate and House to gather on the floor of the House of Representatives and bring in the Members of the Cabinet, Supreme Court Justices, the diplomatic corps, and Joint Chiefs of Staff. The President of the United States comes before us in a well-publicized event to speak from his heart about the State of the Union, our Nation. For about an hour--some Presidents take a little longer than others-- the President has center stage, as he should; he is our leader, our Commander in Chief. There is an air of anticipation during this lead-up time to the State of the Union Address because, until he speaks the words, we are never quite sure what he is going to say.”
