I think the American people recognize that the world has shrunk. That it's interconnected. That you're not going to put that genie back in the bottle.

In Missouri, it's a 50/50 state, so I'm kind of used to half the state being mad at me.

I want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.

We live in a complex world and at a challenging time.

For decades, we've been told that it doesn't make economic sense to switch to renewable energy. Today, that's no longer true.

I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.

I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture. And I'm gonna make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world.
