Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last, we need to focus on middle-class families.

Families who aren't sure what Monday morning will bring, but who believe our nation's best days are still ahead.
I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.
I told the President, I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive, because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them, they are not going to sit down and talk.
