"It is imperative that the United States not default on the Nation's obligations."

"The President Obama called the attacks on demonstrators horrifying."

"Now, is this the deal I would have preferred? No. I believe that we could have made the tough choices required on entitlement reform and tax reform right now, rather than through a special congression..."

"preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States."
