“I just want to reiterate in closing what the gentleman said again about the need to work with Democrats. Really, the hallmark of this administration, and also the Republican leadership in this House, has been to exclude the Democrats and not have us be part of the debate. That has got to change because otherwise I think we will never get to a situation where we can have consensus proposals for job creation, for health care, on the environment that are really going to be meaningful. I think that Congress suffers from the fact that this bipartisanship has essentially disappeared under the Republican majority.”
