We need to be investing in education and hiring math and science teachers.

You made these things happen.

Freedom is the knowledge that you'll no longer be charged more than men for the same health care or denied affordable coverage just because you've beat cancer.

I do hereby proclaim October 7 through October 13, 2012, as Fire Prevention Week.

Our economy doesn't grow from the top down, it grows from the middle out.

We can't go back to the same policies Mitt Romney is proposing that led us to this crisis to begin with.

I have seen too much pain and too much struggle to let this country go with another round of top-down economics.

Every year, fires in and around homes nationwide put thousands of Americans in harm's way.

Mitt Romney is willing to say and do anything to become President.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with them as they take those actions.

We can't afford another round of tax cuts for wealthy folks.

We have made too much progress to return to the policies that led to the crisis in the first place.

The values that we are fighting for and care about of hard work and looking out for one another, those are not rich values or poor values or business values or worker values—they are American values.

This country succeeds not just when folks at the top are doing well.

We're not going to let that happen.

We will win Ohio.

Today's news should give us some encouragement. It shouldn't be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points. It's a reminder that this country's come too far to turn back now.

Don't worry. Somebody's finally getting tough on Big Bird. Elmo, you better make a run for it. Governor Romney is going to let Wall Street run wild again but he's going to bring the hammer down on Sesame Street.
