I think that congress should welcome him and I'm sure they will.

Speaker Boehner is doing him a favor, though. The speaker is doing the president a favor. I don't want people to have to choose between watching the president's plan for jobs and watching the Republican debate.

If the speech is strong, the president will look strong.

When there's an emergency, what do you do? Americans drop everything and go to help people who are in need. That's what Cantor should be doing.

It's not the Barack Obama's fault that we have these got an awful Bush deficit and it's certainly not the fault of the people who are hit by a hurricane.

We need to help them. I'm serious. No, come on, OK. They left on their vacation. You know seriously, whatever. When a storm hits, people need help.

Let's hope the president produces something that is big and bold and will make a difference, and let's hope the Congress passes it.

The president I served helped set in policies that created 23 million jobs.

The congressional budget office non-partisan score keeper say it created up to 4.8 million jobs.

There are a lot of things that a president can do.

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 do think in the last 30 years the anti-tax position in Republican Party has become an article of faith.
