Richard Daley, mayor of Chicago, as quoted in "Daley endorses Obama for president" in The Chicago Tribune (10 February 2007)
“

It brings a new voice in regards to what is taking place far too long in Washington D.C., the lack of moving the agenda forward in regard to the quality of life for the people of America.
