What was the take home message for you?
Amplify’d from www.huffingtonpost.com
Tonight I want to begin by congratulating the men and women of the
112th Congress, as well as your new Speaker, John Boehner.
(Applause.) And as we mark this occasion, we're also mindful of the
empty chair in this chamber, and we pray for the health of our
colleague -- and our friend -- Gabby Giffords. (Applause.)
It's no secret that those of us here tonight have had our differences
over the last two years. The debates have been contentious; we have
fought fiercely for our beliefs. And that's a good thing. That's
what a robust democracy demands. That's what helps set us apart as a
nation.
