Political Quotes

“It's time for President Obama and Harry Reid's do-nothing Senate to work with House Republicans to get America back to work. To date, House Republicans have passed 28 jobs bills, most recently the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act, a bill that ensures all hardworking Americans keep more of their pay, protects Social Security, ensures access to medical care for seniors, and creates jobs. But President Obama's contempt for job creation through energy development is astonishing. Why would he stand in the way of almost 200,000 new jobs that come with the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline that has bipartisan support? President Obama says he wants to put America back to work, but, at the same time, he threatens to veto a bill that would do exactly that and take us one step closer to energy independence. The American people can't wait any longer. I urge the Senate and the President to act on measures that will spur job creation and real economic growth. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Westmoreland). Members are reminded that remarks in debate may not engage in personality toward the Senate. ____________________”
