We have to decide how we're going to reform Medicare for the 21st century.

A strong and stable Europe with open markets and healthy growth is good for America and for the world.

We have to deepen the meaning of freedom.

We can never be satisfied until every child growing up in this country has an opportunity to participate in this economy that we now celebrate.

Yes, I am a Democrat, and I'm proud of it.

There may be one person in America who wants to call him 'Mr. Speaker' worse than I do—but no more than one.

That is the message that I have tried to bring to Washington.

A successful EMU that contributes to a dynamic Europe is clearly in our best interest.

Make no mistake about it—there will be a lot to do after this election.

She was a Head Start child, and now she's working to give all of you a headstart on the 21st century.

I call on Congress to make this year the year we set aside political differences to enact real reforms of the IRS.

American citizens have every right to expect that they'll be treated with respect by a Government that works for them.

We're keeping IRS offices open longer during filing season, launching independent citizen advocacy panels to help taxpayers get relief.

I pledge to the American people that once again we'll act swiftly, guarding against abuse, punishing those who cross the line.

Well, those are questions that you need to ask and answer without my involvement for the simple reason that our consensus about that over time has been--it's changed dramatically, first of all. Secondly, there is a difference between the…

Well, Sarah, I'm not sure I know the specific issue you're referring to, but I would not make any agreements with China in secret, and they would be subject to the knowledge of the Congress and the debate of the American people. We are…

That's true, but it's also true that over time the trend has been up. And over any long-term period, the market has outperformed Government securities. I do believe that the SEC has a responsibility to enforce the laws that are on the…

Well, I think modestly observant people are fully capable of drawing their own conclusions to the latter question. And as to the former question, I have answered it repeatedly and have nothing to add to my former answer. I have repeatedly…
