John Kerry actually said...

"the transition will be painful--the victims of cap-and-trade can't just move on and get a new green job."

"The Kerry-Boxer is a tax, and it will mean more economic pain and suffering and fewer jobs."

"Are you going to treat underserved blocks within an urban area with the same sense of priority that you give to other areas?"

"I want to make it clear, I do not believe we'd be in the position we are in today if it hadn't been for your efforts, and I thank you for championing that."
