Ceiling Quotes
It's not about what the speaker wants. It's not about necessarily what I want. There's two other principles involved here. It's what the constituents in my district want, and they didn't want to raise the debt ceiling unless there were significant structural reforms and spending cuts to help us balance our budget.

Case Quotes
I've criticized Republicans for their lack of fiscal discipline when they controlled Congress before 2007. However, that is no excuse to just continue with more of the same or, as the case is now, to make it worse. Under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's budget, we will double the national debt in five years and triple it in 10.

Became Quotes
After Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, we were told, 'She's the first female speaker of the House, so whether we like it or not, we've got to handle this with kid gloves. Don't go after Speaker Pelosi. You can go after other people, but you'll be branded as mean and evil if you go after the first female Speaker of the House.'

Hear Quotes
I like to play around with people who don't know me. Often I'm talking to people through my speaker phone, and after 10 minutes or so they say, 'Wait a minute, Marlee, how can you hear me?' They forget I have an interpreter there who is signing to me as they talk. So I say, 'You know what? I can hear on Wednesdays.'

Arabic Quotes
With the new, plan enrollment should be higher. The university has a mandate to try and get students to study more foreign languages. Logically, students are practical, and more career opportunities for students in Chinese, Korean, Arabic or Russian are in demand ... a fluent speaker of Arabic or Korean is in demand for government work as our relations improve with these countries.
-
Borders Quotes
We know how important it is for students to look at material, make inferences and look at the source of the material. Our speaker did a good job of showing how it's necessary to expand the borders of students' learning, but at the same time, be more deliberate in teaching critical thinking skills.

Best Quotes
We were in contact obviously all day with the speaker and the entire leadership team trying to figure out how best to move forward in what is clearly uncharted territory. At the end of day, the speaker, in concert with the other members of the leadership, came up with kind of a shared responsibilities plan.

Clear Quotes
I got him in the office and got her on the speaker phone. I was at my wit's end with him. I was ready to send him home and said it wasn't going to work out. She was very clear - 'I am not going to let him back in the house' - and she started in on him and the kid got very emotional. I was like, 'Whoa,' .. at least she has my back.

National is the leader in ceramic speaker driver technology for portable devices. The LM4962 and LM4953 integrated drivers allow manufacturers to create credit-card-thin handsets or add additional features to designs because the chips save space and reduce power consumption. This enables longer battery life and talk time.

Across Quotes
Women in New Jersey and across the country should be very proud of Rep. Rothman for leading this bipartisan effort to provide commonsense, compassionate care to rape survivors in the emergency room. When it comes to solving serious problems like unintended pregnancy, Americans want answers from their elected officials, not silence. I stand proudly with Congressman Rothman in calling on Speaker Hastert to allow a vote on his legislation without further delays.

Bill Quotes
As soon as they are finished with the bill, we will forward copies to Governor Henry, Speaker Hiett and other legislative leaders, ... This is not just a 'rough draft,' as has been suggested. As soon as Gov. Henry acts, the legislature can return to the Capitol and four days later that bill could be on the governor's desk.

Both Quotes
Contrary to news accounts, I will not call a special session on Monday, ... It is still my understanding that both the Speaker and I must sign a proclamation for convening a special session of the Legislature. Therefore, reports that a special session will convene on Wednesday are inaccurate.

Based Quotes
The traveler to the United States will do well to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.

Change Quotes
I've been there. I don't know any speaker out there on the circuit who's been through half or a tenth of what I've been through. A lot of people, you hear them say 'You have to change the way you think,' and a lot of people say 'Yep, yep, yep.' But what if you're in the audience, and you're saying 'How do I do that?' That's where I come in.
