"When I got on to the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But I know it couldn't have been Mitt Romney because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country..."

"I think the president was very presidential last night. He laid out his case. He stayed on the facts. He did what he was supposed to do."

"You can end up getting continuous coverage --"

"You don't get different Barack Obamas or different plans based on the political necessity of the moment, and we think that's a strength."
