I think that Donald Trump is coming to this office with fewer set hard-and-fast policy prescriptions than a lot of other presidents might be arriving with.

I think that the Democratic Party is a big tent, which means that there are positions I may not agree with.

The next phase and this is part of what I'm interested in doing after I get out of the presidency is to make sure that I'm working with that next generation so that they understand you can't just rely on inspiration. There's a little perspiration involved in bringing about change too. That you have to be organized, that you have to vote even when it's not exciting.

When the economy's shrinking, providing jobs, spending on things like infrastructure can actually increase revenue and drive down debt. And then, there's going to be a time at which point debt has to be taken care of.

Sometimes if your only approach is cutting spending at a time when the economy's contracting, then the economy will contract further.

On issues like Ukraine, on issues like Syria, we've had very significant differences [with Russia].

There are always going to be some complications.
