"I think it's fair to say that the leadership's message to the president has been we don't believe that one bill is necessarily the best way to do this and it just may take two steps."

"But, you know, maybe the Senate will come up with a magic formula here that we don't anticipate them coming up with."

"I think the president understands that this is a different situation than the president was in when his numbers were at 56 percent and 60 percent just not too long ago."

"Unfortunately, the recent scandals have caused some to question whether we have lost our vision and whether the faith they have placed in us is justified."
