Most of our [economic] problems are of our own making.

Presidents have to be very organized to govern successfully, and solo artists rarely succeed.

Europeans call it socialism, Americans call it welfare, and Barack Obama calls it change.

There’s a big difference between history and the future.

I think we all know the budgetary environment we live in. We all know the troubling future for federal deficits. They should pay for everything. This shouldn't be special on this bill or another one. The Congress has to get serious about controlling spending.

We have to make debt evil.

I think we do need better training programs, we do need a way to get people from careers that are dead-end into new careers.

I always think that it's important to step back and look at the facts, figure out what is big, what is small, and always target the solution and the policy issue correctly. Don't try to solve the wrong problem with unemployment insurance.
