"Our plan says we need to make it easier for small businesses on Main Street to get financing and to hire and to push this economy forward."

"I understand the frustrations that are being expressed in those protests."

"I think that after two-and-a-half, three years of elevated unemployment, home values declining substantially, people feeling as if everything they've worked for is still leaving them vulnerable..."

"Now is the time for us to act."
