I spoke on the phone with President Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear program. While there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution.

I do not believe being gay or lesbian is a choice.

We can't change the way Washington works unless we first change how Congress works.

We can't in any way criticize or at least indict or impeach administration [of Democratic presidents] for doing what they did.
