Today, we got the teachers, and now we must come back with a new Congress and get the (improved buildings). We are thrilled that our children are going to have a better education.
We have an obligation to prevent terrorists' attacks on this building, on these buildings, on the members, and the tourists,
We're losing a number of Capitol Police who are going to other law enforcement jurisdictions and operations, in part because of the time commitment here and, in part, because there are a lot of new opportunities, unfortunately, in the security field,
We think a 10 percent across-the-board cut assigns about 80 percent of the benefits to the top 20 percent of taxpayers. We'd much rather prefer targeted tax cuts that really go to people who need that tax cut for a particular reason,

My mother used to say, 'You gotta exercise.' She would really pound on me to exercise every day. She was very physically fit; she was on the basketball team in high school in St. Louis in the 1920s, when women didn't do that. And she taught me to play tennis, taught me to walk and run, and I ran for 30 years pretty religiously.
The sanctity of a woman's right to control her own destiny is a moral force of its own... I came to realize that the question of choice is to be answered, not by the state, but by the individual.
Like father, like son, four years and this president is done.
