I would not use American ground forces in Syria. I think that would be a very serious mistake. I don't think American troops should be holding territory, which is what they would have to do as an occupying force. I don't think that is a smart strategy.

As a senator, I raised the alarm about sub prime mortgages. I fought to hold reckless manufacturers accountable for toxic toys and household products that threaten our kids. I introduced legislation to protect Americans' personal data and combat identity theft. So as president, I will make consumer protection a top priority across the entire government.

The Russians and the Chinese have been absolutely clear they don't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon.

Most Americans cannot save more than $6,000 a year from depreciating real estate. That's all they can write off against their salary or business profits.

I don't feel particularly courageous.

You have to be a little bit crazy to run for president.

One person's fashion is another person's disaster.
