I reads every chance I can gets.

I have faith, as I did when I announced my stem-cell decision in 2001, that science and ethics can coexist.

I really think it's important for presidents to exit the stage gracefully.

Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes.

I am a person who looks long-term, and I recognize the path we need to take. There will be moments when people are unhappy and disgruntled with some decision-making. Nonetheless, what matters most is to reach the destination. And my job as President is to see clearly where I want to go and be steadfast in my resolve to realize that vision

I take personal responsibility for everything I say.
