"He needs a jobs package. And then defy the Republican house not to pass it."

"I came to this congress for the jobs package. I compromised a lot. But here's my jobs package. Why won't the house Republic pass it?"

"I think that can be an effective thing in a politician. And I think he's going to be formidable. If I was Mitt Romney, I would be quaking in my Gucci's."

"It's a Republican-inflicted wound on America, and not even all Republicans. A lot of Republicans think this is crazy, too."
