If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them.

My own father had always said the measure of a man wasn't how many times or how hard he got knocked down, but how fast he got back up. I made a pledge to myself that I would get up and emerge from this debacle better for having gone through it. I would live up to the expectation I had for myself. I would be the kind of man I wanted to be.

One of my roles as vice president is to - is to be an interlocutor with the Senate and the House because everybody up there knows I respect them and I enjoy it. And I have a lot of good friends on both sides of the aisle up there.

Everyone plagiarizes me. Ever since I wrote my autobiography.

Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars. Guess what? Yes we do.

A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!

Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be Vice President of the United States of America. Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. She is qualified to be President of the United States of America. She's easily qualified to be Vice President of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she's first rate.
