"I think everybody would agree, you know, we can do better, and I hope this list serves as a good motivator."

"I hope we can act soon, and I for one have not lost hope that buoyed by a success on health care reform."

"As we move to new, strong, robust energy policy in our country, we should do so in a way that does not devastate the economy."

"what was once a novelty is now an economic and fundamental necessity."
