I very much believe in values-based leadership and that the values that I believe in and try to govern by are transcendent values.

We believe that in times like these we should turn to each other, not on each other. We believe that government has a role to play, not in solving every problem in everybody's life but in helping people help themselves to the American dream. That's what Democrats believe.

We're Americans. We shape our own future. Let's start by standing up for President Barack Obama.

We have drained common sense out of our politics. The more we focus on tactics and games, the more good people check out and give up.

The summer before my third year of law school, I worked at a law firm in Washington, D.C. I turned 25 that July, and on my birthday, my father happened to be playing in a local jazz club called Pigfoot and invited me to join him. I hadn't spent a birthday with him since I was 3, but I agreed.

In the view of some people, you can only believe in civil rights if you work as a civil rights lawyer. I just don't buy that.

We need a government that is what we are at our best. Smart, efficient, pragmatic and compassionate.

I've fixed hard problems of all kinds, civil rights and business problems. It's the stuff I like to do, and I'm good at it, as a matter of fact... and I never left my conscience at the door.

My most vivid memory of my father centers on the day he left. It was warm, and my mother was especially short with Rhonda and me that afternoon, which I attributed to the heat. I was oblivious to the mounting hostilities in our basement apartment.

People read inevitability as entitlement, and the American people want their candidates to sweat for the job. They want them to actually make a case for the job.
