The biggest one [trade deal], a multinational one known as CAFTA, I voted against. And because I hold the same standards as I look at all of these trade deals.

I`m running for president because everyday Americans and their families need a champion, and I want to be that champion. I want to make the words middle class mean something again.

I want to close the online loophole and the gun show loophole.

I know what high stakes politics demands, it is a twenty-four seven, totally consuming experience.

We've got this arc of instability from North Africa to South Asia, and we have to pay close attention to it. And we have to build coalitions, something that I did to take on the Iranian nuclear program, and what I will do as president to make sure that we defeat these terrorist networks.

Everybody brings their personality to any position, and that's true for presidents like anyone else.

I'm going to keep talking about what I would do as president, the experience that I bring, the temperament and judgment that led President [Barack] Obama to ask me to be secretary of state after we ran a really hard primary against each other. It's funny to me, because when I have a position, whether it's first lady, or senator, or secretary of state, and I'm doing the work, I'm really quite popular.
