I want to applaud you for beefing up the environmental management budget so that people like South Carolina's Savannah River site, who have done some pretty aggressive things to reduce their waste footprint, will not be left hanging.

the politics around energy are sort of like agriculture politics. They do not break along party lines many times.

the President spoke to the Congress a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned energy independence and climate change as two big issues for the administration, and he gave a list of solutions. He did not mention nuclear power.

With that amount of money, you have got to do a bunch of things.

$350 billion was not well spent, the next $350 billion can be better spent, but it is not nearly enough.

I am convinced that of this $838 billion, a lot of it is going to go to things other than creating jobs in the first year or the next 18 months.

I voted for it the first time. Do you think the first $350 billion was wisely spent?

I think the money was largely wasted.

Senator Obama keeps talking about an immediate withdrawal as soon as he gets to be president. The last time, I understand, he was in Iraq was in 2006. I would recommend that he go back.

So you're saying to the Congress that you know that at least 60 soldiers, airmen and Marines, are likely to be killed every month from now to July, that we're going to spend $9 billion a month of American taxpayer dollars? And when it's…

The Hill will get the Dem nomination. And Republicans must unite to defeat her in the general election.

To say that there's not progress against al Qaeda in Iraq is an insult to those men and women who have brought about progress. It's a denial of their sacrifice.
