We've got to control our own energy. Now, not only oil and natural gas, which we've been investing in but also, we've got to make sure we're building the energy source of the future, not just thinking about next year, but ten years from now, 20 years from now. That's why we've invested in solar and wind and biofuels, energy efficient cars.

With the world's unprecedented inspections and access to Iran's program, we'll know if Iran ever tries to break out.

I use a different style if I'm speaking to a big crowd I can gin up folks pretty well. But when I'm in these town hall settings, my job is not to throw them a lot of red meat. I want to give them a sense of my thought process.

I think that we've had an economy that's been out of balance for too long. So the general principle of raising taxes on higher income Americans, like myself, and providing relief to those who haven't benefited as much from this new global economy, I think is a sound one.
