"The sad truth is that, despite our best intentions, the welfare system is failing; the system traps people in a cycle of dependency that robs them of dignity."

"I applaud those efforts, and want to begin a process to encourage many more of these state and community-based reform efforts."

"I tell them that if they ever get a busy signal, it's because I'm in there ahead of them."

"I call upon all Americans to join the National Conference of Christians and Jews in celebrating the vibrant, richly diverse society the Constitution has made possible in America."
