Tom: We need to go big, go green, and go ... *smart*. We need to smarten up the government. It's all in my new book, "The Smartening: The Future Of Our Big Green Economy", available at your local airport bookstore and featured on the bookshelves of people you can't believe are more successful than you.
Peggy: Recession? What recession? All the rich people I know still have their money!

Tom: We need to harness the now, and roundify the flatness.
G. Will: You see, this all reminds me of something Samuel Johnson said that reminds me of the greatness of Ronald Reagan ...
Newt: My dissertation was on Belgian education policy in Africa. What could I possibly contribute to this conversation?
Tom: I've been to China. They have money in China, you know. China!
Peggy:

Hammer.
George Stephanopoulos: Thanks, everyone! Next week, we'll have Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Maureen Dowd and Mickey Kaus attempt to adequately explain the consequences of an unregulated derivative market.
Tom:
