Robert Menendez actually said...

"It is my sincere honor to introduce Cecilia Rouse as President-elect Obama's nominee for the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors."

"I am going to support your nomination. I am going to hold you to what I expect to see in robust enforcement."

"I am confident that the Committee and the full Senate will see that she is eminently qualified for the position and will confirm her for this important post."

"Finally, as Senators, we all know that we can't make all the people love all the decisions we make all of the time."
