He's battling . . . he's fighting every day. There's no effort to camouflage or hide anything.

All these calls he's getting are an infringement upon his ability to rest.

There has been some improvement in the president's condition since yesterday. The improvement is significant enough that there is cautious optimism regarding his condition.

I really appreciate his great fighting spirit. He had a fantastic effort.

It was a bad day and I knew it from the first climb in Aspin, ... I'm going to keep fighting because the Tour is not over.

It's a good day. A lot of convictions and a lot of hard fighting on both sides, but I believe with every ounce of my being that we did the right thing today. Nobody apologizes for where we're headed.
