The clearest indication of this was the fact that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Washington next week would be the first hosted by the Obama administration.
We’ve indicated that our offer would be on the table for a certain period of time and that when that time ran out, we would look at other approaches that would increase pressure on Iran
Medicaid for the masses. North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr quipped that the printed bill -- all 20 pounds -- was the size of many Americans' Thanksgiving turkey next week. The American people are asking us to stop this bill
I think this is an inexact science. We're talking about a multitrillion-dollar economy that went through the worst economic crisis since 1933. The first measure of success of the economic recovery is, did we pull ourselves back from the brink? We did ... The question now is, can we make sure we're accel...
she thinks Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will soon have to choose between a triggered public option and no health care bill. She also says Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) -- the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate one of its most fierce and vocal public option advocates -- has been tasked as a point man ...
Iran has taken weeks now and has not shown its willingness to say yes to this proposal ... and so as a consequence we have begun discussions with our international partners about the importance of having consequences
Many of you know I'm a Republican. Before I give you my thoughts, however, I'm curious to know what you guys REALLY think of former Alaska Governor and GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin?
We weren't going to duplicate what has happened with North Korea, in which talks just continue forever without any actual resolution to the issue
If one Democrat were to stand up to Senator Reid, and say ‘I can’t support this,’ then Senator Reid would be forced to put the Stupak language in, since he needs every vote ... There has never been a greater moment of leverage for pro-life Democrats. We still have a few hours before the vote. If it pass...
At every stop on my journey, one truth is clear: The security that allows families to live in peace in Asia and America, the prosperity that allows people to pursue their dreams, the freedoms and liberties that we cherish -- they're not accidents of history; they are the direct result of the work that y...

Iran has taken weeks now and has not shown a willingness to say yes ... I've not seen the report, but we've seen indications that whether it's for internal political reasons or they're stuck in their own rhetoric, they have been unable to get to yes.
I still hold out hope, but I must admit that it’s a fading hope ... I hope that there may be one Democrat, even if they’re quiet now, to stand up tonight. It comes down to someone in their heart being pro-life.
We have begun discusions with our international partners about the importance of having consequences. The dual track approach requires Iran to get a clear message that when it fails to take advantage of these opportunities that it in fact is not making itself more secure, it is making itself less secure
It is the number one request of my Governor, who is a Republican and it is unanimously supported by every member of our delegation, Democrat and Republican. I’ m proud to have asked for it. I’m proud to have fought for it, and I will continue to
The thing I want to emphasise is that President Lee and I both agree that we want to break the pattern that existed in the past, in which North Korea behaves in a provocative fashion, and then is willing to return to talks ... and then that leads to seeking further concessions
With China’s micro-management of Mr. Obama’s appearances in the country, the trip did more to showcase China’s ability to push back against outside pressure than it did to advance the main issues on Mr. Obama’s agenda, analysts said.

Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition
Our message is clear. If North Korea is prepared to take concrete and irreversible steps to fulfill its obligations and eliminate its nuclear weapons program, the United States will support economic assistance and help promote its full integration into the community of nations
the White House and Congress were right to structure the package as a mix of tax cuts and spending, rather than just tax cuts as Republicans prefer or just spending as many Democrats do.
Those imbalances are not as prominent with Korea but there is, I think, a tendency to lob all of Asia together
It seemed a little weird when Jon Voight warned the crowd that if President Obama wasn't stopped, the US would wind up with a healthcare system like New Zealand's. At the time, I could not help wondering what New Zealand ever did to Jon Voight.
