I find it so political, it is debasing to the Senate. I guess people have a right to do that, but enough is enough. Let's stay with the business at hand instead of trying to score political points. I urge our colleagues to do that. I have never been a fan of charts, but my good friend, Senator Conrad, manufactures them on a daily basis. I compliment him for it. But to have pictures and to use those kinds of things denigrates our President. In my opinion, I am not sure it elevates the caliber of debate that we should have before the Senate.

Congress passed a bad law called the Windfall Profits Tax. That motivated me to run for Senate more than anything else.
