Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Chairman, it is amazing how this town works, as the gentlewoman has just said. In this whole fiasco of abusing the White House and other illegal campaign finance issues, no one has ever stood up on that side of the aisle and said the President was wrong, the DNC is wrong, they were wrong in what they did. All they do is say well, they may have been wrong, but the Republicans were just as bad. Well, today we are going to talk about the Wicker amendment, and that applies to the White House and what has been going on for the last 6 years. For over 6 years, or 6 years ago, I remember President Clinton, or then candidate Clinton, promised the American people that he would establish the most ethical administration in the history of the United States. Now, I would submit to the President that he has personally done more to ensure that his administration is one of the least ethical in the 220 year history of the office of the presidency. In orchestrating the most massive fund-raising campaign in the history of the United States, the President and the Vice President personally oversaw the use of the White House as fund-raising headquarters.
