I believe economic recovery is dependent upon job creation, and in today's economy small businesses, especially in cleantech, will play a critical role in creating new manufacturing jobs in the United States.

In 2016, I’ll be wrapping up my second term as president, so I can’t think of a better way than to be marching into Washington Park alongside Mayor Daley, alongside Rahm Emanuel, alongside Dick Durbin, alongside Valerie Jarrett as President of the United States, and announcing to the world, ‘Let the gam...

I am skeptical as to whether 30,000 more troops will make a difference [in Afghanistan] ... But I would like to believe by July, 2011 that we will be in a position where we are going to see our troops really coming home.
I'm skeptical as to whether 30,000 more troops will make a difference. We have over 200,000 now when you count NATO forces, American forces and Afghan military forces. But I think at this point the president is moving forward
The pace of our troops coming home, I understand, depends on conditions...Are we going to let American soldiers stay there indefinitely while they dither, in Vice President Cheney's words? I don't think we should. American lives are at stake. And so I want to know, at least from my point of view, what t...

The recommendation by this medical panel has been rejected by virtually everyone, including the current administration ... They were appointed by President Bush.
We need competition. We need choices. We have to put some honesty back into the insurance market ... I hope we can move to a point where we satisfy Joe Lieberman's concerns that this does not end up being a government debt, but ends up being a government solution.
When we met with Roland Burris in January, we made it clear that in order for him to be seated in the U.S. Senate he needed to appear before the Illinois General Assembly to testify openly, honestly and completely about the nature of his relationship with the former governor, his associates and the circ...
The Republican health care reform bill is zero pages long because it has zero ideas.
I think the failure to pass a bill is not good for America, it's not good for any of us in Congress, or those standing for re-election
I would say to Sen. Lincoln that I believe most people in Arkansas would be relieved and happy to see health care reform that gives them the peace of mind about the cost of health insurance and the protection of their ability to fight these health insurance companies
Some of the criticism about this decision has crossed the line ... Talking about actual buildings as targets in Chicago? Please, that doesn't do any good.
This is an opportunity to dramatically reduce unemployment, create thousands of good-paying jobs and breathe new economic life into this part of downstate Illinois ... We should not let the unsupported and misplaced fears of a few stand in the way of this historic economic boost to our region.
At a time when Illinois is facing recession ... this is a lifeline
President Obama has given us this opportunity and it’s an opportunity we should seize, and I hope that we are successful in this competition ... This will be the most secure prison in the United States of America.
