If we can't delay Alzheimer's by 5 or 6 years, you know, we are going to go bankrupt.
The constitution doesn't say the president should obey the law until he gets frustrated.
It's not the president's right to dictate with the newly elected Congress that has repudiated his policies in the election.
I think the idea that success is going to be defined as Mogadishu is crazy.
I do think that the results of the last week were, for example, over the weekend 700 children crossed the American border, everything the president has said about controlling the border is totally not true.
Yes, and you can't just go home and lecture them. You actually have to go to home and have a genuine conversation.
The guy is in shock. His pollster told him he was going to win by 34 points. He goes into election night totally confident. He outspent his opponent 25 to 1.
This country is angry about Washington. It's angry about terrorists being released. It's angry about Obamacare, angry about the economy.

I just think it's amazing that in the fifth year, suddenly Obama jumps up and goes I have a pen.
what a dereliction of duty. He's had five years to do all these things.
Sebelius' dishonesty and testimony this morning exceeds anything President Nixon was accused of. The Obama team cannot tell the truth and survive.
Now it's either true or it's not true. And you can obfuscate and use big words but the fact is the president of the United States knowingly, I mean, if he'd gone to the country and said look, about 16 million of you are going to lose your…
You've had White House tweet by Valerie Jarrett saying that Obamacare doesn't cost anybody their insurance. That's just plain not true.
