The future belongs to the nation that best educates its people, period.

I'm OK with Congress not meeting my deadline to pass a reform bill, as long as they're working.

What I can tell -- from what I can tell, the sergeant who was involved is an outstanding police officer. But my suspicion is, is probably that it would have been better if cooler heads had prevailed.

The Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.

These changes are critical to the organization's mission and work.

I want to be clear: Reform isn't just about the nearly 46 million Americans without health insurance.

During an economic crisis, the work of the LSC is especially important.

Central to the Nation's long-term economic success is an education system that responds to the demands of today while anticipating students' needs in the years ahead.

I have pledged that I will not sign health insurance reform... if that reform adds even one dime to our deficit over the next decade, and I mean what I say.

At that point cooler heads on all sides should have prevailed.

People keep on saying, 'Wow, this is really hard. Why are you taking it on?' America doesn't shirk from a challenge.

When you're a White Sox fan and know the guy who did it, it makes it even more fun.

We will get there, and we are doing everything in our power to get our people back to work.

The LSC brings legal counsel to every corner of the Nation.

Every day the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) breathes life into the timeless ideal, 'equal justice under law.'

We have made great progress in protecting the legal rights of our citizens.

It is not too soon for the families who've seen their premiums rise faster than wages year after year.

I think cooler heads likely should have prevailed on both sides.

I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here.

I've also pledged that health insurance reform will not add to our deficit over the next decade and I mean it.

If you don't have health insurance or you're a small business looking to cover your employees, you'll be able to choose a quality, affordable health plan through a health insurance exchange, a marketplace that promotes choice and…

This debate is not a game for these Americans and they can't afford to wait any longer for a reform. They're counting on us to get this done.

The Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.

I have great health insurance and so does every member of Congress.

If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit. If we do not reform health care, your premiums and out-of-pocket costs will continue to skyrocket.
