So I really would like to see both parties respond to the poor with greater commitment. But I've got to tell you, the Democrats, I feel, are doing a better job in that respect than Republicans are.

The Republicans do not have feeling for people who are in bad shape.

We need to tell the American public the truth. We need to let them know they're not the only ones struggling.

The American people do not care which Party solves the problems confronting our nation.

The Democrats need to remind people of where were, in terms of our progress, as markers against where we are, and where we've fallen, and how we've declined under Bush.

The Democrats have responded to the Republicans' lack of dealing with reality by truly not dealing with reality, either.

Look, 85% percent of Democrats think the economy's fine. What does that tell you about these people?

I'd hate to paint with a broad brush, but many Democrats don't feel that we have a crisis in entitlements, and Republicans do.

Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to help.

Americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like Obamacare. It's a mindset that gave us political talking points, not serious solutions.
