James Inhofe actually said...

"I am not on this Subcommittee. However, I was chairman of this full Committee when the Republicans were in the majority, and I am very active on it."

"I have traveled to Africa more than any other Senator in the history of the United States."

"But the politics is important, as the Chairman knows. We need a bill. And a bill, quite frankly, it is more difficult dealing with Republicans than Democrats in the Senate."

"Despite these reforms, I am concerned that they are not being implemented properly."
