"The president made clear to the leaders that he is not going to negotiate over the need for Congress to act to reopen the government or to raise the debt limit to pay the bills Congress has already in..."

"We are not as divided as our politics suggest."

"The Affordable Care Act is a law that passed the House; it passed the Senate."

"I want Republicans in Congress to know: These are the Americans you'd hurt if you were allowed to dismantle this law."
