President Obama to the UAW in Detroit: “And five years from now when I’m not president anymore, I’ll buy [a Chevy Volt] and drive it myself.” GM has suspended the building of Volts this week.

President Barack Obama concerning border safety: “Even though we’ve answered these concerns [that Republicans have raised about border security], I’ve got to say i suspect there’s still some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.

Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied.”
Christian Dorsey: “There is nothing that puts more money into the economy than unemployment benefits.”
