Each generation of Americans must define what it means to be an American.

I will never let Israel down.

I know that the precise magnitude and patterns of climate change cannot be fully predicted. But global warming clearly is a growing, long-term threat with profound consequences. And make no mistake about it, it will take decades to reverse.

I liked working with Republicans. We had five pretty good years after we had that bad year in '95 that culminated in two government shutdowns.
