On the Glass-Steagall thing, like I said, if you could demonstrate to me that it was a mistake, I'd be glad to look at the evidence. But I can't blame [the Republicans]. This wasn't something they forced me into. I really believed that given the level of oversight of banks and their ability to have more patient capital, if you made it possible for [banks] to go into the investment banking business as continental European investment banks could always do, that it might give us a more stable source of long-term investment.

You live in the age of interdependence. Borders don't count for much or stop much, good or bad, anymore.

The problem with any ideology is that it gives you the answer before you examine the evidence.

I love the HRC. The initials are great.

[Illegal immigration] costs the taxpayers of the United States a lot of money. And it's unfair to Americans who are working every day to pay their own bills. It's also unfair to a lot of people who have waited in line for years and years in other countries to be legal immigrants.

I can spend your money better than you can.

I hate it when people blame someone else and don't take responsibility.
