I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.

To honor our national promise to our veterans we must continue to improve services for our men and women in uniform today and provide long overdue benefits for the veterans and military retirees who have already served.

I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier but not for you fifty thousand dollars or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun.

In the frank expression of conflicting opinions lies the greatest promise of wisdom in governmental action.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math.

Four years ago I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have.

You can't trust a promise someone makes while they're drunk in love hungry or running for office.
