It is foolish for us not to act and both take further steps to reduce climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I would really describe [sequestration], in many cases, as mindless austerity, cutting just simply straight across the budget without reflecting, really, which are the critical investments.

this is a program that is working. It is not only saving lives. We have reduced veterans homelessness by 24 percent in the last 3 years.

Eighteen percent fewer sleeping on the streets; that is a huge accomplishment.
