Political Quotes

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To my dean from Pennsylvania, Congressman Murtha, I always will respect the fact that you will be my dean and I will follow you, along with my leader. I thank you, Bobby Borski and Chaka Fattah. I thank the other Congressmen Fox and Weldon from the other side of the aisle for those kind remarks. After all you have said, I should not say anything else because I probably will just louse it up, but I need to thank a few people. I am not here by myself. I am here with a lot of people that I brought, my family and my friends. But I am not standing here because of myself. I am standing here because of a lot of people had the faith to vote for me in this past reelection. Without labor, organized labor, which I am a part of, it would not have been able to be happening. I am also a city chairman. So with my fellow ward leaders and all my committee people that shared the faith and came out and voted for me, I need to thank them, and I need to thank a whole lot of people that helped me get here through the tough times.”
