		Michel left the House he had given 46 years, the House he loved, rather than risk a divisive, public brawl over the Republican House leadership.
		In fact, Michel was the only one in the room who had the foresight to record the meeting for history with some scribbled notes.
		Bob Michel -- the most influential congressman ever to come out of Peoria, longest-serving minority leader in our nation's history, and a front-row witness to American history over the last half-century -- is again one of Washington's most potent powerbrokers.

	Speaking Spanish like Bob Dylan, Education, Spain, Expatica
		In Michel's opinion, it's much better to learn how to construct a sentence properly, all the right verbs and their endings in place, then build upon that in order to create confidence in using it.
		Michel was born in pre-war Poland then moved to Germany and left as the Nazis came to power.
		A pity, because although Michel said 'we will start from the beginning' he quickly picked up the pace to the point where we were learning how, when and where to apply the subjunctive tense in Spanish, and my brain was about to implode.

	Remarks honoring representative Bob Michel. (Bill Clinton
		Bob Michel has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his outstanding contributions to the country and the government.
		It occurs to me that after 19 terms in the House, 13 years as minority leader, it's a real shame for a man with Bob Michel's distinguished reputation to have it destroyed at the end by having a Democratic President brag on him.
		But after I got to know Bob Michel, I understood the genesis of the saying, because in a very real sense he represents in my view the heart of America, the values of America, and the sense of fairness of America.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: He Played Well in Peoria
		Michel was so genuine--so natural--that even dishonest men could not look him in the eye and lie to him.
		Michel's life was the very picture of small-town America: He had a paper route, joined the service when war erupted in the 1940s, landed at Normandy on D-Day, and spent the rest of his life in public service to his community and his country.
		Bob Michel's career, by contrast, demonstrates that politics can be a noble and honorable profession, even in this profoundly antigovernment age.

		Michel lamented Gingrich's decision to concentrate power in the speaker's office and his moves to install committee chairmen to his liking, partly scrapping the seniority system.
		Michel acknowledged he is more easy-going than Gingrich and that the cocky Georgian's more assertive style may have been necessary for the Republicans to succeed this year.
		Michel said he didn't expect Democrats "to take this thing lying down," and he admonished his fellow Republicans: "Overplaying your hand in the majority can lend itself to the minority in justifying itself in really sticking it to you." Michel said Gingrich tends to have too many balls in the air at any one time.

		Michel was a strong leader and a strong voice for his party--and an even stronger voice for the Congress itself.
		Michel's successor, Ray LaHood (R-Ill.), who has inherited both Michel's seat and his status as a quality legislator, defined Michel as "the best Speaker the House never had." To Michel fans, it is a damn shame he never had the chance to shine in that role.
