Political Quotes

On the recordApril 23, 2013
On Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration began furloughing air traffic controllers due to the President's sequestration. As a result, American families are set to experience longer security lines, flight delays, and more hardships while traveling. Yesterday, the White House Press Secretary placed politics over leadership by blaming Congress. Last year, to address the issue, the House acted responsibly by passing two pieces of legislation to replace sequestration. Sadly, the Senate refused to consider our efforts, and the President vowed to veto them. Once again, the President and his administration chose to act selfishly for political gain by cutting the resources for American passengers rather than reducing costs elsewhere and minimizing sequestration's impact. American families deserve real leadership. The President must start prioritizing the well-being of the American people over petty partisan politics. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
