Voluntary measures are nice, but they're not being taken.

It's not an Earthshaking or huge proposal, but it's an important one and it would be an important first step in trying to control the increase in greenhouse gases.

Climate change is real. Its effects are being felt all over the world.

It would appear, if you look at the profit margins, that the industry is purposely keeping refining capacity low.

Please somebody describe in detail how the price of oil is set.

Did you ever tell him, Mr. President, you are overstating the case? Did you ever tell Condoleezza Rice, did you ever tell the vice president that they are overstating the case? And if you didn't, why not?

Do you believe the administration, then, misrepresented the facts to justify the war?

It seems to me there's got to be someone in your office who is going to say to you, you know, the vice president said something which just doesn't have our support.

It would energize American forces. It would energize the political environment. Yes, he should step down.

That we will have immigration reform.

I am convinced that we will have immigration reform.
