real gun self
It is true that the vast majority of gun deaths in America are not the consequence of the use of an 'assault weapon.' But that begs the question of whether assault weapons have any real utility either in terms of any sporting or self protection needs.
ideas government vision
Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive.
believe party hands
Politics is a damn expensive business. I had one hell of a time trying to raise money as a candidate. I had to put a second mortgage on our house to get that campaign started, and I ended up spending over $300,000 to get elected. I believe that public financing of federal election campaigns is the only thing that will insure good candidates and save the two-party system. It is the most degrading thing in the world to go out with your hat in your hand and beg for money, but that's what you have to do if you haven't got your own resources.
should-have week shots
Everyone working 40 hrs a week should have a shot at a decent life.
energy reason transportation
We also wanted to change the story - change the approach to the 21st century on energy, on education, on transportation, on infrastructure, generally, and it laid the groundwork for that. And one of the reasons I'm doing this trip is not only to say what we did worked, but to say we should do more of this.
generations my-generation
Don't listen to the cynics. They were wrong about my generation and they were wrong about yours.
decision made
I'm joking, I'm joking. Best decision I ever made.
patriotic class people
Millionaires are just as patriotic as poor people. The very wealthy are just as noble and patriotic as the middle class. But nothing has been asked of them in this horrendous recession. And it's time we just ask.
two washington-dc hot
Make sure of two things: Be careful -- microphones are always hot, and understand that in Washington, DC, a gaffe is when you tell the truth. So, be careful.
teacher kids opportunity
We spent $100 billion on education, saving the education system 300,000 teachers who were laid off because of the recession. We also put tens of thousands of lower income kids in college through Pell grants which has fundamentally all their opportunity. We did the same thing with regard to what we did on transportation. So we weren't' just trying to - we knew we had to do something big to keep us from going over the cliff into a depression and pull us out of hole.
views abortion funding
No public funding for abortion; it imposes a view.
clean barack
Apologized for saying Barack Obama was clean and articulate.
jobs blow america
There arent any jobs left in America except for the good kind ... Blow Jobs.
party tea proud
It's why we oppose Citizens United from that right-wing Supreme Court. In 2012, I also said the Tea Party "acted like terrorists" and called a donut shop manager in Milwaukee who wanted lower taxes a "smartass." And I said the number one issue is a three-letter word, J-O-B-S." I'm proud of who I am.
