father thinking alzheimers
My own father had died of Alzheimer's. George [Mitchell] had been also, I think, deeply moved by a similar tragedy.
sports hands two
I held out my hand and George Mitchell said, "Like in everything else, you lead and I'll follow." And the crowd broke up, and we did a twirl or two around the dance floor. And that's like him, you know, he was there for his members, he campaigned for us, he believed in us, and he was really a good sport as well.
stars men thinking
Senator [George] Mitchell is a man of many talents and he's swift on his feet, but one would not think of him as 'dancing with the stars.' And we had this great rock 'n' roll fund raiser.
senior together pals
I knew of Senator [George] Mitchell because he was very close friends with who was soon to be the senior senator, Paul Sarbanes. Paul Sarbanes and George Mitchell were kind of pals together.
firsts said wanted
I always said that though I was the first, I wanted to be the first of many.
doctors able serious
A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm.
dream college nightmare
College is part of the American dream. It shouldnt be part of a financial nightmare for families
moving hero glasses
I would say George Mitchell was like Clark Kent sometimes with his horn rimmed glasses and his very quiet manner. People say, well, he's just a quiet leader, but then he emerges as super hero and begins to move this legislation. He led by example.
country hurt social
I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country
issues battle benefits
On the most recent battles on health insurance reform, the women led the battle to end gender discrimination by the insurance companies [where] women paid more and got less of a benefit, and also the whole issue of prevention.
senior america safety
When we stand up for America, we stand up for what America stands for, which is a safety net for our seniors and really helping our families be able to help themselves
senior retirement sick
When one gets old and they are sick, there are not many things they can count on but they should be able to count on Social Security. Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.
believe office voting
I truly believe that before I retire from public office, I'll be voting for a woman for president.
senior retirement political
Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.
