Political Quotes

I appreciate very much my friend's statement. Earlier this morning I had in my office a Capitol Police officer. I said, what is the number on your badge? I don't remember exactly--3,600 and something. I said, look at my cabinet there, look at my badge. Mine was 363. So Senator McConnell is absolutely right, we take for granted the work these men and women do for us here. It is significant. They do everything they can to protect us and all of the thousands of people who work in this Capitol complex. ____________________

Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
