You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don't they?

There is a hunger for the United States to be present again.

America is not at war with Islam. And it is a mistake and it plays into the hands of the terrorists to act as though we are.

Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . . . For me, that balance is family, work, and service.

The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

I've heard [Bernie] Sanders comments, and it's really caused me to wonder who's left in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Under his definition, [Barack] Obama is not progressive because he took donations from Wall Street; [Joe] Biden is not progressive because she supported Keystone; [Jeanne] Shaheen is not progressive because she supports the trade pact. Even the late, great Paul Wellstone would not fit this definition because he voted for DOMA.

I don't think labels are as important as results.
