Barack Obama

I have great respect for John McCain's service to this country.

Absolutely. That's going to be a priority.

But, when it's over, what will unify us as Democrats and what must unify us as Americans is an unyielding commitment to the men and women who have served this nation.

So to the mothers in my life and to the mothers in all our lives, Happy Mother's Day.

I am proud to have Congressman Mitchell's support.

Over the next six months, Vote for Change is going to bring new participants into the process, adding scores of new voices to this critical dialogue about our future.

There's nothing wrong with us figuring out how, in a clean way, to utilize our coal resources.

I want to have a broad-ranging discussions with Senator Clinton about how I could make her feel good about the process and have her on the team moving forward. But as I said it's premature right now. She's still actively running. And we…

I would want to have a broad-ranging discussion with Senator Clinton about how I could make her feel good about the process and have her on the team moving forward. But, as I said, it's premature right now. She's still actively running…

I'm actually looking forward to it. If we're successful, I don't want to get ahead of myself here. Senator Clinton is a very formidable candidate.

And so it is critical that we send a message around the world we will stand with Israel, we want them around not just for 60 years, but for 600 years.

Does he believe the race against Clinton is over and hear what he has that has the McCain camp crying foul.

If I had my way, we would not have gone into Iraq in the first place.

But -- because think about what I am going to be running against: the failed policies of the Bush administration, which John McCain wants to continue.

I think that what people are looking for is good judgment. They're looking for somebody who is going to be able to assess the very real risks that are out there and deploy our forces, not just military, but diplomatic, political, economic…

It's going to be very hard to deliver on a smarter energy policy. It's going to be hard to -- to provide health care for people who need it or make college more affordable.

This -- this is offensive. And I think it's disappointing, because John McCain always says, well, I'm not going to run that kind of politics.

That's why I'm running for president, sweetie.

We have had an administration that's been profligate, that has raised our national debt to a record level.

If I had my way, we would not have gone in to Iraq in the first place.

Senator Clinton has shown herself to be an extraordinary candidate. She is tireless, she is smart. She is capable. And so obviously she'd be on anybody's short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate.

I think we've seen voters across the country say they are ready for change. They are feeling real anxiety about the economy.

I want to eliminate the Bush tax cuts.
