Honest work deserves honest pay.

American leadership is essential.

America is great, because America is good. And it really is up to all of us to make that true, now and in the future, and particularly for our children and our grandchildren.

I think people need to remember what the situation was when President [Barack] Obama came into office.

I want to make college tuition-free for the middle class and debt-free for everyone else.

I am a member of Congress. And I do have a choice as to whether or not to continue as DNC chair and be neutral and do everything I can and put in the kind of time and hours and days on the road that I do to make sure that we can elect Democrats up and down the ballot and elect a Democrat as president. Or I could not be chair and go work for the candidate of my choice. I`m choosing to remain as chair so that I can fight like hell to make sure that the jokers on the other side of the aisle aren`t able to get hold of the White House.

We are out of the ditch, we're standing, we're walking, but we're not running. I want to grow the economy.
