On the recordJuly 11, 2012
I thank my good friend from Florida. I want to congratulate the Republicans on their victory. All good things must come to an end. Our 5-year winning streak was broken through, largely, superior play, although I do question some of the strategy that was invoked by the Republican team, notably Mr. Mulvaney and Mr. Gowdy wearing matching plaid Bermuda shorts, which distracted all of my team members. But seriously, this is a great event, and it was conducted very much in accordance with the nine core values that the First Tee espouses, particularly sportsmanship, honesty, integrity, and courtesy. I think all of us enjoyed the day and left the event much closer than when we started. There was a great spirit of collegiality as well as competition. Once again, I want to thank all of my fellow team members on the Democratic side. I congratulate the Republicans. Once again, I congratulate and thank the First Tee for all they do to promote high qualities among our youth in America.
