Senate Leadership Discusses President Obama's Address to Congress
February 25, 2009 - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Charles Schumer and Democratic Conference Secretary Patty Murray held a press conference Wednesday to discuss President Obama's address to Congress and Senate Democrats' plans to work with him to revive our economy and make life better for struggling Americans.
"Last night the American people heard something we hadn't heard in a very, very long time -- an honest assessment of where we are as a country," Reid said. "We also heard a strong vision of how we're going to work together to make life for struggling Americans better. We took a strong step by passing the economic recovery package, and he talked about that at some length. He also talked about three things that we all must focus on: energy, education and health care."
