Political Quotes

Mr. President, I thank my colleague. I think he diplomatically referred to me as old, but I know that wasn't the case. He is exactly right. We have served together for a long time. We agree on most issues. This is one that we disagree on, but we do it in a genuine and diplomatic way. Contrary to maybe the image that some portray to the American people, we fight during the day and we can have a drink or go to dinner at night, and we are just as likely to work on a piece of legislation together next week. So that is what this institution is and it is why it is so great.
