When Congress legislates in haste, it often causes more problems than it solves. But Congress rarely reconsiders its mistakes.

Too many critics mistake the deliberations of the Congress for its decisions.

Mistakes were made is something we heard back in '92, and that has sort of been the Clinton administration's mantra. I can't imagine that Al Gore is going to pick up that statement and carry it through the next election.

I don't think it's the function of Congress to function well. It should drag its heels on the way to decision.

You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president.

Congress is dysfunctional.

We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration.

I think it was absolutely a mistake for President Obama and Harry Reid to force a government shutdown.

You can see how dysfunctional this Congress is.

I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.
