“I thank the leader. I was thinking about this the other night. We don't thank the leader enough. We are blessed on our side with a leader whom I think every Member on our side has high confidence in because of his good judgment, his fairness, his balance, his willingness to listen and then decide. Even though he may not always agree with any one of us on a particular issue, he always listens, and he does it with respect, and then he decides. He makes a decision. I thank him for it. I know the role of leader is absolutely the toughest job in this town. It is an extremely difficult, demanding job, and our leader does an outstanding job of it. That is why he enjoys the confidence of our colleagues and the affection of our colleagues.”
