Read it and it will make you sick !!
Just think.....this is the "leader" of the Democrats in the Senate.
No wonder bush gets everyone/everything he wants.
Daschle is NOT a real Democrat. He is an ass-kisser to the Republicans.

What a historic weekend for all of America. On Saturday I had the privilege of participating in the swearing in of Americas 43rd President, George W. Bush. While President Bush and I have some honest philosophical differences that wont prevent us from working closely together as the 107th Congress opens its session this week. I am looking forward to it. Working together in a true bipartisan spirit we can accomplish great things for South Dakota and all of America. In keeping with that bipartisan spirit I look forward to my first meeting with President Bush at the White House this Wednesday. This will be the first of many meetings between the President and me as we hope to keep our lines of communication open (just as I do with Republican Leader Trent Lottwe even have a direct line to each others offices).
Shortly after the swearing in Senator Lott and I called the 107th Congress to order so that we could confirm the first seven of President Bushs cabinet choices. This was easy work as President Bush has done an excellent job with his cabinet selections. On Saturday, we confirmed Secretaries Colin Powell (Secretary of State), Paul ONeill (Treasury), Ann Veneman (Agriculture), Don Evans (Commerce), Rod Paige (Education), Spence Abraham (Energy), and Don Rumsfeld (Defense). I met with almost all of these nominees in the previous weeks and I am enthusiastic about the chance to work closely with them.
I am also very pleased that South Dakotas own Rosebud Elementary School Drum Band graced the Inaugural Parade with their presence on Saturday. From the reports I heard they were really an impressive group. My Congratulations to Linda Bordeaux and the entire band.
