I hate to say I told you so, but we told you so, |
I have every expectation we can finish within the week -- within a week, not this week, |
I haven't ruled anything out or anything in at this point. |
I hope he's not going to suggest that we finish this bill over two travel days and a weekend, ... showcasing and posturing. |
I hope the president will agree to reduce the tax breaks for the very wealthy in order to restore this tax relief for hardworking taxpayers who need it most, |
I indicated this morning it isn't where you start, it is where you end, ... And it is still my hope and expectation, really, that at the end of the day we are going to have a broad level of support on both sides of the aisle for a resolution that indicates our support for the United Nations effort and our support for the administration's effort in dealing with Iraq. |
