The man in question – Michigan Rep. Dave Camp, the committee’s top Republican – was indeed present. But instead of handing him the microphone, Rangel started speaking again. That prompted the president to cut him off with this quip: “Well what I meant, Charlie, was let’s give him the mic.”
The comment prompted a roar of laughter from those in the room, and this joke from Camp when he was handed the microphone: “It is tough in the minority, let me tell you.”
