Political Quotes

“I would urge my colleagues on the other side to join us. Let us move forward towards jobs; let us move forward towards economic development and activity; let us move forward towards cooperation on important matters, like seeing to it that the economy gets moving and Americans are going back to work. Let's not sit around here whining and complaining about situations about which we have nobody at this particular minute at this particular time to address it. But we are addressing three pieces of legislation that are going to make economic prosperity a greater reality and a more real object of our attentions. I urge my Republican colleagues to cease this nitpicking on the floor and this nattering, which I'm hearing coming from the other side, and work with us to put Americans back to work. And let us understand that the people have spoken in the last election, and they spoke for jobs and change. We are trying to give it to them, and we invite our Republican colleagues to give us a little bit of that cooperation that will enable us to move more easily forward. I thank my colleagues.”
