I am personally committed to exploring ways to encourage good nutrition and wellness.

What is the potential improvement of health outcomes as related to health care costs reductions?

opening statement

the majority of that cost is in the Medicare program?

Like many of my colleagues, I am very concerned about the rising rate of obesity among Americans.

I'm here today to announce that my family and I will make a decision on my political future later this year.

He has called the war in Iraq the most dangerous foreign policy blunder this country has made since the Vietnam War.

He would be a passionate antiwar voice in this race.

If Chuck Hagel runs for president, I'm going to cross party lines.

That's the kind of voice that Chuck Hagel could be if antiwar sentiment continues to grow.

When you set in motion the kind of policy the President is talking about here, it's very, very dangerous. Matter of fact, I have to say, Madam Secretary, I think the speech given last night by this President represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam. If it is carried out, I will resist it.

This is not a defeatist resolution. This is not a cut and run resolution. We are not talking about cutting off funds, not supporting the troops.

The most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out. I will resist it.

This speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out.
