Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 20, 2010
I have always refrained from using the word ``retire'' because I can't sit around very much. So I don't intend to quit working. But I am not seeking reelection, the Senator is correct about that.

I look forward to a lot of work this year with my colleague from Illinois and I hope, together, we will frame the policies that will help put America back on track to a better future.
