I very much feel like the novice and pupil, ... I'm spending most of my time listening as opposed to trying to interject myself into the process.
I just want to go through Central Park and watch folks passing by. Spend the whole day watching people. I miss that.
No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will.
It is very important to recognize that the money that we spend now will not be wasted even if this particular strain of the virus, H5N1, ends up not becoming a pandemic flu, ... We know that over the next two, three decades there will be a pandemic flu. That's almost certain.
I will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
We need earmark reform, and when I'm President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.

These shells behind us, these casings, are a testimony to the decades that have been spent creating weapons of destruction, ... The hopes in the programs that have been discussed today are that we can start using our resources to dismantle these arms and create a more peaceful and safe future for the people of Ukraine and for people all around the world.
Issues are never simple. One thing IÕm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.
I see no evidence of active malice, but I see a continuation of passive indifference on the part of our government toward the least of these,
These are trips not initiated by me; these are trips that other people think will be helpful. For every invitation I've accepted, I've turned down 100.
Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame. I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.
