We can't have - we can't have a patchwork of 50 states developing their own immigration policy. I understand the frustration of people in Arizona. They want the federal government to step up and deal with this problem once and for all, and that's what we want to do.

From David Axelrod

We don't want to go back to the same policies and the same practices that drove our economy into a ditch, that punished the middle class, and that led us to this catastrophe. We have to keep moving forward.

From David Axelrod

But you say, does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill, and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.

From David Axelrod

No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you, you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you get seriously ill, you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don't want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.

From David Axelrod

I think President Obama is a committed, practicing nonideologue. He's consumed by neither tactics nor ideology. He is more concerned about outcomes than he is about process and categorizations.

From David Axelrod

We've got ballots flying around, being counted by hand, arriving by truck and in God knows whose custody.

From David Axelrod

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

From David Axelrod

People understand we're on the doorstep of doing something really historic that will help the American people and strengthen our country for the long run.

From David Axelrod

We know that 10 million more people will lose insurance in the next 10 years if we don't act.

From David Axelrod

This marketplace where people can buy insurance who don't have it today - a competitive marketplace: That's an idea that both sides embrace.
