What an incredible record you have: You are a $3 billion service delivery program that returns about $10 on every $1 invested; You assist a million of our society's citizens with disabilities every year, and every year you situate a quarter of a million of those Americans in meaningful and productive jobs; and Within 4 years, the reduction in public assistance payments for people who've received your services offsets the amount it took to rehabilitate them. That's a human investment program in every sense. But what's most impressive to me is that public service is not just your job but a life commitment.

We all compromised, because it is the only way you ever get anything done around here.
It is feasible. We tried that. I tried very hard in behalf of President Obama to get the Arab states to take steps in the direction of normalization, based on the Arab peace initiative, proposed initially by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
I think we do have an obligation to do that because the United States is the indispensable party to any possible resolution on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I think both sides are calculating their gains and losses and I think fairly soon the time will come when they will coincide in deciding that it's in their interest to end this round of the conflict.
