We are here to do hard work.

How does America benefit? ... paying no taxes to the United States?

How does it help the United States of America? It helps your stockholders. Is that it?

My colleagues, I know that history would reflect that this Presidential election started much earlier than most of them do. As a matter of fact, it started the very day that President Obama was sworn in. The honesty of this Republican…

Could you share that view?

I have to tell you as one politician to the other I find the position we find ourselves in as Democrats a hell of a lot easier to deal with than the one Mr. Romney is presenting.

Today Members of Congress and others will see a thousand women of color visiting all of our offices. They call themselves the Delta Sorority. Here the leadership is provided by Judge Fudge as they come close to celebrating their 100th…

It is difficult to talk about reform. It is a question of whose ox is being gored.

it is going to be your responsibility to put your foot in that open door and don't let it close.
