“I thank my friend from Kentucky for yielding. Madam Speaker, look, I am pleased that Democrats here are upset about what has happened to the post office. My regret is, you didn't get upset during the Obama administration when they were shutting down our post offices, not just getting rid of 12,000 mailboxes, shutting down processing centers. In my district, when they shut down the Overton processing center, it meant mail going from Tyler to Longview, or vice versa, went to Dallas then to Shreveport and back. The Deputy Attorney General came to my office--I had been demanding a meeting with the Postmaster General-- but, oh, no. No time for that. They had no decency. They tried to say 390 miles would be cheaper and quicker than going 30 miles. It is an outrage what the Obama administration did, including their Postmaster General, who was in office until June 15 of this year. Wake up. Let's complain about the post office during the Obama years.”
