We're on the cusp, on the brink, of enormous change in this country.
Jennifer Granholm
It's that Romney is taking advantage of the government's free stuff, too, and has been profiting from it handsomely for a long, long time - even as he rails about the free stuff that the government provides other people.
Jennifer Granholm
We've got this proposal which has been languishing in the legislature, the Water Legacy Act, which is derived from a Republican task force on protecting the Great Lakes. Yet nothing has been done on it.

America needs to be able to be energy-independent, and the electric vehicle, the battery technology is one way of getting there.
Jennifer Granholm

Voter suppression laws, overzealous filibuster use, you name it - the Republicans use every tactic they can to stop our democracy from actually selecting the person with the most support.
Jennifer Granholm
Less than a year after loading the company up with debt, Romney and Bain gave themselves bonuses four times bigger than the $8 million they had put into the deal.
Jennifer Granholm
I understand that Republicans-running-against-Obamacare-in-order-to-save-Medicare is a clever jujitsu. But how long will they play out that argument before they get back to the economy?
Jennifer Granholm
We need, first of all, for there to be accountability, for there to be somebody who is responsible for enforcing standards and holding people's feet to the fire.
Jennifer Granholm
It may be tempting to look back and wring our hands over missed opportunities for change in the preceding decades. But, I'm not interested at looking in the rearview mirror except to learn.
Jennifer Granholm
Today in America we are no more post-racial than we are post-partisan. We have a long way to go.
Jennifer Granholm
America is an idea. And it's the solemn responsibility of each 'temporary' president to protect and nurture that noblest of all ideas - with integrity. This man, Mitt Romney, has shown - not through his experience, but through his actions and words - that he is unqualified to carry out that responsibility.
Jennifer Granholm
I urge you to be bold. Life isn't changed from the balcony. Get onto the floor and dance, dance, dance.
Jennifer Granholm

Jennifer Granholm
From a reality perspective, I'm sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don't know what is.
Jennifer Granholm
