"I understand that what makes an idea sound it's not whether it's Democrat or Republican but whether it makes good economic sense for their workers and companies."

"All those who live in fear that their job will be next on the cutting blocks, they need help now. They are looking to Washington for action, bold and swift."

"I hope to sign an American recovery and reinvestment plan into law in the next few weeks. Now, most of the money that we're investing as part of this plan will get out the door immediately and go dire..."

"The Obama administration has already signaled a strong willingness to regain U.S. leadership on the global stage in the treaty talks, reversing years of inaction."
