I stand by what I said earlier - Harry was playing games. I also find it ironic that Harry Reid is citing the unity of the Republic when he himself is to blame for so much of the country's present divisiveness and downright criminality under his watch as a "public servant". Harry really does think he knows better and is better than the average American; therefore the pseudo intellectual games that appeal to a certain percentage of his leftist, liberal constituency. He appeals and plays to the self satisfied arrogance in his chosen demographic.
Always remember, Harry has a certain disdain for the great "unwashed":
"That was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's take at the official dedication for the center Tuesday morning, as he quipped that members will no longer have to "smell the tourists" on hot summer days. "My staff has always said, 'Don't say this,' but I'm going to say it again because it's so descriptive because it's true," Reid said. He referenced House Minority Leader John Boehner's comments about the long lines of tourists that stream into the Capitol complex, and said: "In the summertime, because (of) the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol." As the crowd laughed, Reid said, "And that may be descriptive but it's true. Well, that is no longer going to be necessary."

I stand by what I said earlier - Harry was playing games. I don't disagree with you. He not only feels contempt for the great unwashed intellectually, he feels entitled to take personal financial advantage of them as well. I am quite familiar with his spate of real estate scams, particularly outright theft of water rights.

I should have added, Why take askance to Reid's omission of "under God" from a socialist-inspired pledge to the almighty state, when his overt criminality is what needs addressing.
Especially when the Messiah forbade taking oaths.
