Barack Obama Bill Quotations

When BP was not moving fast enough on claims, we told BP to set aside $20 billion in a fund - managed by an independent third party - to help all those whose lives have been turned upside down by the spill.

You can't fight a war in Iraq that's costing upwards of $200 billion and rebuild New Orleans ? and try to deal with all of the other domestic needs that we have and then cut taxes for the wealthiest 1% of Americans, ... Face the Nation.

If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we've got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.

I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president; the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history, and a lot of millionaires to boot.

To provide an additional $50 billion in capital gains and dividend tax breaks over the next 10 years, while permitting many of these taxpayers to shirk their responsibility to pay their fair share of taxes is a moral outrage that should not be allowed to happen.

Unlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country's energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers.

What's your name, sweetie? You look so pretty, ... You made this heart and you decided to give it to Bill Clinton, didn't you?
