Things are going to get better. Be optimistic.

You know, a better man for a better America. That's sort of our slogan.

I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything, but at least they'd be willing to try.

It's going to be hard for someone like me to run for president.

We're trying to get good pictures. Don't worry very much about what I say.

President Obama came to visit me in the hospital. He said, 'I wish you were still in the Senate; I need your help.' I'm not certain I can help on everything. Maybe some things.
