May 2009 - "Nowhere but in the bizarre world of New York State government would school budgets be raided to fund a transit system..The MTA's plan would create a revenue stream that could be tapped whenever the MTA needed another bailout.

There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that the government can't solve all problems.  But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.  I will listen to you, expecially when we disagree.  And above all I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done by America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand."

October 2008- "Government owning a stake in any private U.S. company is objectionable to most Americans - me included.  Yet the alternative of leaving businesses and consumers without access to financing is totally unacceptable."
