Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is it not in order, as we have heard many times on this floor, for a Member of the House to simply not mention by name individual Members of the House, but to mention categories of Members? That happens all the time. Mr. Speaker, is it not in order, when there are Members on the other side of the aisle who have said ``Obama,'' ``Obamacare,'' ``That Nancy Pelosi is a train wreck'' on the floor of this House and their words have not been taken down and they have not been seated? Is it not in order for the gentlelady to have been recognized and to be able to speak on this issue merely saying ``Republicans''? That could be a lower case ``republicans.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman will suspend. There is currently a demand for the words to be taken down pending before the body. The Clerk will report the words. The gentlewoman from Florida will be seated.
