Re: Campaign finance reform: "I never made more than a million bucks playing. But Obama is a money machine, and I'm happy to be on his coattails".

Re: Ron Santo's Hall of Fame candidacy: "I will press President Obama to push Ron Santo Hall of Fame legislation through Congress".

Re: The Dallas Cowboys: "We hope to strip them of the America's Team designation and give it to it's rightful owner, the Chicago Cubs".
