From Nicholas Calio's Citigroup bio: "The New York Times described him as a 'forceful broker…not only between the White House and Congress, but also among Cabinet officials…' and 'credit[ed] him with a major role in the biggest White House legislative victories on Capitol Hill, among them the resolution authorizing use of force against Iraq, the creation of the Homeland Security Department, an education bill and a major tax cut.' Congressional Quarterly reported that 'lawmakers of both parties also say Calio's forceful approach ...helped Bush put together a string of triumphs on Capitol Hill.' http://www.citigroup.com/citi/corporatego...
