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.

I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they're about to face.

Democratic priorities remain clear: to provide a tax cut for working families, to promote policies that produce jobs and economic growth, and to assist millions of our fellow Americans who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

Everything within a half-a-minute or a half-an-inch is gold, silver, bronze or nothing.

What we're discussing privately and publicly, is a budget which is a blueprint for the future which creates jobs, which educates our children, which provides healthcare for all Americans, which takes our deficit down, which gives a tax cut for 95% of the American people.

That is why, as one who values the U.S.-Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech — saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.

I do think that campaigns are about electing somebody, but they're also about a discussion of the future of our country.
