“But for those folks who have lost their job right now because a plant went down the Mexico, that isn't going to make you feel better. And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There's — there's no answer to it. He just says, "Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal." Well, how — what — how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn't have an answer.”

“I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22.
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you.

“It’s hard to be ignored
When I look at you, you look so bored
My baby, my darling, I’ve been taking a beating…
Well alright (well alright)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun”

“You go up to a man, and you say, ‘How are things going, Joe?’ And he says, ‘Oh fine, fine—couldn’t be better.’ And you look into his eyes, and you see things really couldn’t be much worse.
