Political Quotes

On the recordApril 2, 2014
I am going to repeat my request, because apparently the majority leader, based on his comments, didn't understand it. I have an amendment that is about unemployment insurance. I have an amendment that is germane to the bill. It is not about ObamaCare, not about EPA, not about the Koch brothers. I have an amendment that is a proposal contained in President Obama's last two budgets. My amendment has nothing to do with any of the comments and objections he makes. For that reason I am trying to clarify that, and I would again ask unanimous consent that my germane amendment proposed by President Obama in his last two budgets be in order, and it be in order for me to offer my amendment No. 2931. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
