What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers Republican congressmen do to the country.

They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President I never will.

America's veterans and troops serving abroad today fought hard to preserve our red white and blue from the Revolutionary War to today's Global War Against Terrorism and Congress' action today is appropriate for one of our most sacred symbols.

If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.

The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth.

The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism.

We're sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress and some very new members who will no longer be serving with us.

With respect to the northeastern boundary of the United States no official correspondence between this Government and that of Great Britain has passed since that communicated to Congress toward the close of their last session.

Appellant constituted a legitimate class of one and this provides a basis for Congress's decision to proceed with dispatch with respect to his materials.

I have said with respect to authorization bills that I do not want the Congress or the country to commit fiscal suicide on the installment plan.

We saw what happened in Jimmy Carter's administration. President Carter was a good man with the best of intentions. But he came to Washington without a good working relationship with Democratic members of Congress which played a big part in his administration's problems.
