After 100 years of trying, finally we passed health care for all Americans as a right for all - not just a privilege for a few.

I must have good genes from my parents because I feel no slowdown of energy, enthusiasm or even memory.

I don't reject the concept of preemptive war. I'm a mother of five. I have five grandchildren. And I always say: Think of a lioness. Think of a mother bear. You come anywhere near our cubs, you're dead. And so, in terms of any threat to our country, people have to know we'll be there to preemptively strike. But what the president [Bush] did was, on the basis of no real intelligence for an imminent threat to our country, chose to go into a war for reasons that are still unknown to us.
