On the recordSeptember 21, 2006
I think the reason this is possible, Mr. Meek, the reason that this first 100 hours is possible and why it will happen, is because our leadership has gone to great lengths over the past couple of years to unify our caucus. Never before has the Democratic Caucus been more unified in support of basic legislative initiatives which we can actually move on. What has happened for years and years is we tend to always talk about what divides us. We come down here and we are critical of the administration, but what we want to do as leaders is figure out what can unite us. Ms. Pelosi has done that not only in this caucus, but also with the Senate, also working with Harry Reid in the Senate and their leadership for a new direction for this country.
