Political Quotes

“This agenda that I have out there, this detailed agenda contains 13 actions, specific actions that I will pursue in the first year of my second term, and I will fight for them harder than the Nittany Lions, fourth quarter, fourth down, goal to go, and that's tough. That's tough. So I'm asking the people for nothing more, nothing less, than a mandate to move this country forward. I will work with the hundred and some newly elected Members of Congress who will listen to the people to move this country forward. And yes, I want a debate.

At the very moment when Russia and Eastern Europe and the whole world is turning our way, why would we want to go back their way?

Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!”
