I look forward to working with the Congress on those critical issues.

This legislative proposal would implement the reforms I announced earlier this summer.

It is a job-creating tax measure that will put more Americans to work.

I'm confident that we do have a strong bipartisan support, and I'm hopeful that we will prevail.

Today the President transmitted to Congress comprehensive campaign finance reform legislation designed to lessen the power of special economic interests and restore competition to American congressional elections.

I firmly believe a capital gains reduction is the right policy for all Americans.

Middle-income Americans who invest wisely, farmers selling off a piece of the family farm, the elderly widow who is living off the assets she and her husband struggled to accumulate, the couple who planned ahead and saved so their children…

It represents comprehensive campaign finance reform legislation designed to reduce substantially the power of special economic interests while enhancing the role of individuals and political parties.

I was elected to do certain things, and I'm going to keep on trying to do them.

Well, I think that we're going to come together with the Governors on major objectives for this country in terms of education -- something that's never been done before.

I mean, we know what the law is, and the President has to abide by the law.

Reducing the capital gains tax means Americans who have capital gains at some time in their lives -- about half of our population -- will be able to keep more of their savings to invest for the future.
