I'm not insensitive to the jobs. I'm desperately concerned about those jobs. But you don't fix them by pandering to people and telling them you're going to shut the door. You have to grow jobs.

More quotes by John F. Kerry
In order to have the best intelligence in the world to know who the terrorists are and where they are and what they're plotting, you've got to have the best cooperation you've ever had in the world.
John F. Kerry
I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty.

Sunni are the majority of the [Syria], 60 to 65 percent. They've been ruled by [Bashar] Assad, who represents a minority Alawite element, which is about 12, 13 percent. And because of the choices Assad made, it's very difficult to see how you resolve this without buy-in from the Sunni world.
John F. Kerry
No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats who did.
John F. Kerry
We need to talk to all the players in the Middle East, not because we agree with them, but because they play a role.
John F. Kerry
If Russia is there [in Syria] alone fighting them [ISIL], guess what? Russia becomes the target and Russia starts seeing - who knows - MANPADs will find their way in there, airplanes will fall out of the sky. They will become vilified. They'll become the new magnet, together with Assad, for the jihadis.
John F. Kerry
America is the one that has led the effort to strengthen NATO and strengthen the front-line states against Russia's pressures.
John F. Kerry
Democrats proposing success in Iraq by political solution.
John F. Kerry
If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me.
John F. Kerry
Our military is overextended. Nine out of 10 active-duty Army divisions are either in Iraq, going to Iraq or have come back from Iraq. One way or the other, they're wrapped up in it.
John F. Kerry
Reduce US military presence in Iraq and bring in neighbors.
John F. Kerry
We have to recognize that there is a strong, fresh wind blowing, powered by these new information technologies. It will be increasingly difficult for dictators to impose their will through sheer brutality.
John F. Kerry
President Obama has made it his mission that we welcome our troops home with care, and concern, and the respect they deserve. That is how an exceptional nation says thank you to its most exceptional men and women.
John F. Kerry
I mean, all of these things that [Bashar Assad] has done, there's no way even if President Obama wanted to just play along that you could actually achieve peace, because there are 65 million Sunni in between Baghdad and the border of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, who will never, ever again accept Assad as a member - as a legitimate leader.
John F. Kerry
Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.
John F. Kerry
America now stands as the world's foremost power. We should be proud: Not since the age of the Romans have one people achieved such preeminence. But we are not Romans we do not seek an empire. We are Americans, trustees of a vision and a heritage that commit us to the values of democracy and the universal cause of human rights.
John F. Kerry
I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.
John F. Kerry
Just the fact that we can't pass budgets in our Congress, just the fact that we are gridlocked in our own democracy, the fact that everybody who travels can see that we're not investing in our airports, in our rail, in our infrastructure and so forth, people are noticing a United States that is not getting the job done in some ways.
John F. Kerry
I just want to assure you that both President Bush and I have very firm alibis.
John F. Kerry
From the moment I take office, I will stand up to the special interests and stand with hardworking families so that we can give America back its future and its ideals.
John F. Kerry
