Harry Reid: “We cannot afford to fall behind in the development of solar energy technologies.”

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.

Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.

But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.

He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
