 "We are sort of a mongrel people ... I mean we're all kinds of mixed up. That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it."

"If it's really a charitable contribution, I'm assuming [the tax savings] shouldn't be the determining factor of whether you're giving to the homeless shelter down the street." The change in the deduction rate, he added, "is not going to cripple" wealthy taxpayers.

I don't expect 100 per cent agreement from my Republican colleagues, but I do hope that we can all put politics aside and do the American people's business right now. ... The American people expect action.

I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don't fit the typical pedigree.

... the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. That's the promise we need to keep.
