“I made education the highest priority of my campaign – actually education and jobs – and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it.”

Soft money will find its way and seep into the political system and corrode it, unless we plug every hole.

We’re here to tell the NRA their nightmare is true.

I’m going to focus on people and what they need, not on name calling between politicians.

In today’s competitive economy, to stand still is to die.

The greatest problem America faces is the decline of middle class incomes.

I didn’t go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

College students today are drowning in debt, and it is hurting them and hurting our economy. We must find a way to help families pay for college without condemning them to a lifetime of indebtedness.

Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.
