The American dream is about freedom.

Americans deserve a better tomorrow, today.

I never dread going back to Congress.

I know about raising money.

The president of the United States, the most famous person in the world, maybe in the whole galaxy – in a long time – he had to spend like a billion dollars to set the record straight.

I pride myself in being called a liberal.

Whatever the deal is with other countries, we want a better deal for America’s workers.

The sequestration is a bad idea, all around. It is something that is out of the question. If you have spending cuts, education of our children, other investments, on the National Institutes of Health, where you are hindering growth, you’re no going to reduce the deficit.

This president goes into office with more expectations than any president I can ever remember in my lifetime.-2008.
