This marketplace where people can buy insurance who don't have it today, a competitive marketplace - that's an idea that both sides embrace.

The truth is that as we move forward, if one side says we can't raise any taxes on anybody or any interest, and the other side says we can't cut anything, we're obviously not going to make progress on this. And our interest is in making progress on this.

I think those autoworkers whose industry would have collapsed if the president hadn't intervened are certainly better off.

Two years before the last election you nor anyone else would have predicted that Barack Obama was going to get elected president of the United States.

I think the millions of people who had been able to renegotiate their mortgages so they are paying lower interest rates are better off.

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

I think that the millions and millions of young Americans, young Americans, who have health care today, who wouldn't have had it if the president hadn't acted are better off.
