Political Quotes

“one of the most wonderful lessons for the young people of this country is that great things can be done in our society when it does not matter who gets the credit. The Republicans should be commended for taking Medicaid off of their welfare bill because the President, our President, came here in January and asked us for a clean welfare bill and said he would sign it into law. We should not worry if he gets the credit for doing that. This is the clean bill that he asked for; it is. We disconnected Medicaid so he would sign it, not so he would veto it. We should pass it today and give him this clean bill. It does not matter if he gets the credit. The Democrats should not care if the Republicans get the credit, because it is these children that are trapped in dependency and poverty that are going to get the benefit and the reward. We are doing the people's business. We should support the conference report when it comes back, and we should support the President so he can sign this bill into law and do the people's business.”
