"The key is to make sure that Americans come through this difficult time and come out whole at the end of it."

"I believe in this President, and I know that as this situation changes from day to day, hour by hour, it is indeed a very difficult moving target but we will hit the target."

"While we may be in dismal times, this is America. And I think that we have to take the attitude that we will get through this, and we will."

"Today's Unemployment Report...is an urgent reminder of why decisive and urgent actions are needed to respond to our deepening recession."
