My energy plan will invest $150 billion over the next ten years to establish a new American energy sector.

We can't afford to let dictators hold our national security hostage because of our energy dependence.

We just learned today that ExxonMobil made nearly $12 billion last quarter. This is coming off of $11 billion the quarter before that and $11 billion the quarter before that. No United States corporation has ever, in American history, made…

It's time to ease the burden on working families.

As I've said consistently, that I think Hillary Clinton would be on anybody's short list.

On my way over here, George Bush was on TV, talking about his energy plan. Now, think about it, where has George Bush been over the last eight years? Where was John McCain over the last 25?

We cannot afford a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

I want to fundamentally change how we do business.

The best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.

We've got to prevent people from losing their homes.

I have acknowledged repeatedly that the fact that we put more troops in [Iraq] helped to quell the violence.

There's a direct link between the energy problems that we're experiencing here at home and a lack of a coordinated policy in thinking about energy and climate change abroad.

Afghanistan is the central front on terror.

We need a more serious effort on the part of the Afghan government.

America's going to make these commitments in Afghanistan.

I did not see a huge shift in the strategic policies.
