“I have looked at every idea out there”
“I may not agree to a tax cut for Warren Buffet”
“There has not been an administration who was tougher”
“Some of these ideas we have embraced”
“It can’t just be political assertions”
“That’s not how democracy works”
“A media that responds only to slash-and-burn style politics”
“I’ll go through it with you line by line”
