Harry Reid: “It's a very good bill, because Senator Ensign and I are both unhappy with the situation and I think that's a good sign…”

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.

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

The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.

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.
