Laurie and I send our heartfelt prayers and sympathies to the family and friends of those lost and injured today in Red Lake and to all those touched by this tragedy.
There is an election that will be held on November 5, and I'm going to say this: It's just an election, ... My wife and I have lost two children. I know and we know what real loss is, and everything else is very relative after that.
There is a moment of opportunity (with the world summit next week), and that moment ... has to be seized. ... If not, there will be a further undermining of support (for the UN) in the US Congress,
If the guy leading the charge is stained with a record of incompetence, of mismanagement, of fraud, it's going to make it very hard for him to do the heavy lifting required,
I also continue to have concerns with the ability of the ... investigation to be thorough and conclusive. These audits do not answer even a fraction of the questions we have been asking or will be continuing to ask as our investigation moves ahead in the months to come.

I do think its important ... that the public understands that we know what the lines are. I want to make sure that we generate greater confidence in the institution.
I don't think this is mundane. I really think you're talking about the future of the Internet here,
I really believe we got to change that tone in Washington, move away from the strict partisan divides, find a way to cross the aisle. That was my experience in St. Paul, and that's the experience that I'll bring to Washington.
The findings from this review, I hope, will provide Congress with the requisite information to make an informed decision regarding the national security implications of a Dubai-backed company owning and operating terminals at six U.S. ports.
You've got the right guy in the right place at the right time.
