McConnell Welcomes South Korean President Lee Myung-bak

October 13, 2011

‘Many of us have been amazed to witness the rapid growth and evolution of South Korea, but none of us should be surprised: a strong Democracy, determined leadership, an openness to the world economy, and a strong defense, has made it possible. So we welcome this great friend of the United States to our shores.’

Trade Agreements Will Help Create Jobs Here at Home

October 12, 2011

‘On the very day that Democrats and Republicans were planning to come together to vote in favor of these trade bills, Democrats spent the entire morning talking about what a shame it is that it never happens. So clearly, this vote is getting in the way of the Democrats’ political message. It’s absurd to watch, really. And, frankly, I think it would be a lot less confusing for anybody who’s watching at home, not to mention a lot better for job creation, if Democrats would just agree to work with us more often on bipartisan bills like this.’

Working Together to Help American Businesses Create Jobs

October 12, 2011

‘As I see it, the President has a choice. He can spend the next 13 months trying to get Republicans to vote against legislation that won’t create sustainable private sector jobs and which is designed to fail in Congress, or he can work with us on legislation that will actually encourage small businesses to create jobs and is actually designed to pass. There’s an entire menu of bipartisan job-promoting proposals the President could choose to pursue over the next year. Republicans hope he works with us to approve them. Americans are waiting. We’re ready to act.’
