I don't know a politician who enjoys fundraising. The system is such that the American people have lost faith.

When we're talking about a trillion dollars of taxpayer money, "trust me" just isn't good enough.

We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves from ourselves.

I appreciate our government's determination to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the Bytyqi brothers, which Serbia's Interior Minister has rightly called 'an exceptionally serious crime,' and hope the Serbian government's pledge of full cooperation... is matched by a final accounting of their murder.

I am not haunted by memories of Vietnam. But I must admit I never thought we would again witness in my lifetime the specter of politicians picking targets and ruling out offensive measures in the absurd hope that the enemy would respond to our restraint by yielding to our demands.

We make the future better than the past. We don't hide from history. We make history.

Our economy, I think, is still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong.
