Trent Lott: “You need more information, but the president, I watched him, he's pretty perceptive.”

When you're dealing with 100 United States senators, let alone 435 House members, you're not going to get it all the way you want it. The president's going to have to give some, the president is going to have to show leadership.

Would you at the very least sit down with him and listen to him?

When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We`re proud of him. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn`t have had all these problems over all these years either.

I think if they would go back to the old way of getting things done, carefully and systematically, would really help them.
