What's important is what's—the kind of spirit you have.

The United States Senate knocked down a filibuster aimed at blocking a final vote on health care reform and scored a big victory for the American people.

These changes will save the American people billions of dollars.

That’s really what's going to determine how you do in the future.

Health care reform will not add one dime to our deficit.

If you see a way that Government can do its job better, or do the same job for less money, I want to know about it.

The most important message I can leave is, is that you guys are—have so much potential.

Indeed, long before there was 9-11, there was 12-21.

We need a Government that's more efficient, that's more effective, and far more fiscally responsible.

Washington's become more concerned about the next election than the next generation.

And that's why we started the SAVE Award, to draw on those who know Government best to improve how Government works.

After years of irresponsibility, we are once again taking responsibility for every dollar we spend, the same way families do.

We've done what some said was impossible: preventing wasteful spending on outdated weapons systems that even the Pentagon says it doesn't need.

We're going to have to build on the momentum that we established in Copenhagen.

Simply put, the protections currently included in both the health insurance reform bill passed by the House and the version currently on the Senate floor would represent the toughest measures we've ever taken to hold the insurance industry…

There is a clear majority in the Senate that's willing to stand up to the insurance lobby and embrace lasting health insurance reforms that have eluded us for generations.

I want America to continue to lead on this journey.

Today is a major step forward for the American people.
