The American people... want change. They want big ideas, big reform.
Rahm Emanuel
I wake up some mornings hating me too.
Rahm Emanuel
And it's time as a country that we have an assault weapon ban.
Rahm Emanuel
I think that every country presents its own particular challenges, different cultures, different histories, different religions, different people. And different ethnic make-ups in those countries present different challenges.
Rahm Emanuel
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
Rahm Emanuel
We invoke the sacrifices of our fallen heroes in the abstract, but we seldom take time to thank them individually.
Rahm Emanuel
I still believe the Lewinsky investigation was way off from the focus of what Whitewater was, which turned out to be nothing at the end of the process. And I think that there were people who were determined as political opponents to not allow his presidency to succeed.
Rahm Emanuel
Republicans are 'bad people who deserve a two-by-four upside their heads.'
Rahm Emanuel
I should say the leadership's proposal in the Senate and the House are very unpopular. And when people realize it will raise taxes, raise their insurance premiums cost and explode the deficit, they think twice about it.
Rahm Emanuel
I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today, our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
Rahm Emanuel
The Afghan - obviously the parties will decide which course of action. The most important there, get a government that is seen as legitimate to the people and has the credibility to be a partner in the effort to secure Afghanistan so it's not a haven for al Qaeda or other type of terrorists or international terrorist organizations.
Rahm Emanuel
As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.
Rahm Emanuel
We need to deal with the problem of al Qaeda, make sure that they can't have a sanctuary in Afghanistan and guarantee that we have regional stabilization and particularly focused on Pakistan.
Rahm Emanuel
[Obama White House] rescued the economy from the worst recession.
Rahm Emanuel
I think the most important thing for us to make judgments about is what can we really do? What can we achieve?
Rahm Emanuel
Take your f***ing tampon out and tell me what you have to say.
Rahm Emanuel
Nearly losing my life made me want to live my life.
Rahm Emanuel
The fact is, Bush's war policy has failed. It's failed! Who better to say so than Jack Murtha?
Rahm Emanuel
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street’s excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
Rahm Emanuel
Obviously what I think Senator [John] Kerry was pointing to, which is absolutely correct, which is the essential part of the strategy or a key component or a leg on the stool, is an Afghan partner that is ready to take control of both the security situation in Afghanistan, and the civilian side of that.
