I do trust that the president is sincere in understanding that the public supports - that overwhelmingly the public supports - not sending these young people back. It was interpreted by some that we had a deal on the deal. But that wasn't on the package. We had an agreement to move forward, in our view, with the DREAM Act as a basis for how we protect the DREAMers and for further discussions on what provisions relating to the border might be in an accompanying bill or whatever as we go forward. So I trust the president in that regard.

[The Republicans] have come up with nothing. They say repeal and replace. That has alliteration.

The Democratic Party has always been a party that is not known for its unanimity.

Women have come a long way, but it never fails to sadden me when I see younger women saying we have to overcome some obstacles.

Jobs mean freedom for workers to support their families.

Republicans support opening the floodgates to special interest money and suppressing the right to vote. It's just plain wrong.

It isn't as much you a spending problem as a priorities, and that is what the budget is, setting priorities. It's about timing. And it's about timing as to when make cuts, as well.
