Sherrod Brown said "Mr. President, I appreciate the words of the Senator from Nebraska, Mr. Sasse, with whom I enjoy serving on the banking committee, and I appreciate his good work. I take a bit of issue with his comments. I know there are more than two options. But I hear the greatest criticisms of the President from those same people, urging-- not necessarily Senator Sasse in this case, but many of the leaders in this body on the Republican side who were some of the strongest advocates for the war in Iraq. Some of those same people are saying, back into the Middle East, sending combat troops. Going back to war is something that the American people--we all come to the floor claiming to speak for the American people, perhaps, but we know that is not good policy and that is not what most people in this country want to do. But I appreciate the comments of the Senator." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
