I have proposed a strategic energy fund that I would fund by taking away the tax breaks for the oil companies.

I want to thank her and her son for their service and their sacrifice. When we send a soldier or Marine to combat in Iraq, we really are sending a family. And since the election of 2006, the Democrats have tried repeatedly to win…

I don't like a damn thing about him. I -- no, I'm only kidding. Only kidding.

First of all, change the tax structure. We are giving people tax breaks who don't need it. The top 1 percent got an $85 billion a year tax break. It is not needed. My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value, show me…

Religion informs my values. My reason dictates outcomes. My religion taught me about abuse of power. That's why I moved to write the Violence Against Women Act. That's why I take the position I take on Darfur.

I'm the guy that originally wrote the assault weapons ban that became law.

It was a mistake. I remember talking with Paul Wellstone at the time. And quite frankly, the reason I voted for it, against my better instinct, is I have great faith in Ted Kennedy, who is so devoted to education.

Number one, there is not a single military man in this audience who will tell this Senator he can get those troops out in six months if the order goes today.

I think it's terrific.

I couldn't run as anything other than a woman. I am proud to be running as a woman. And I'm excited that I may... you know, may be able, finally, to break that hardest of all glass ceilings.

I will not promise to meet with the leaders of these countries during my first year. I will promise a very vigorous diplomatic effort because I think it is not that you promise a meeting at that high a level before you know what the…

I put forth a comprehensive three-point plan to get our troops out of Iraq, and it does start with moving them out as soon as possible.

Irresponsible and naive to say that you would commit to meeting with, you know, Chavez and Castro and others within the first year.

When are we going to stand up and do something about this? We have talked about it too long. We have got to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies that Barack just spoke about.

Absolutely it does. John and I have a disagreement. John thinks that the only way we get universal coverage is to mandate coverage. I think that the problem is not that people are trying to avoid getting health care coverage.

As president of the United States, my commitment on issues like education, my commitment on issues like health care is to close the disparities and the gaps, because that's what's really going to solve the race problem in this country.

If you want to talk about irresponsibility and naivete, look at her vote to authorize George Bush to send our troops into Iraq without an exit plan.

I think the question hit the nail on the head.
