My identity might begin with the fact of my race, but it didn't, couldn't end there. At least that's what I would choose to believe.

[Michelle Obama] used to say to our friends, "Barack's exactly the kind of guy I want to be president. I just wish he didn't want to do it when I was married to him."

I think Dona;d Trump is sincere in wanting to be a successful president and moving this country forward and I don't think any president ever comes in saying to himself "I want to figure out how to make people angry or alienate half the country."

I don't think that hedge funds are bad per se. I think they're just one more financial tool. And in that sense, they're useful.

I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law

I know there are problems that I say to myself, If maybe I was a little more gifted I might have been able to solve. But that's not because I believe what I did was a mistake. It's that maybe it required the talents of a Lincoln.

I'm a strong believer in strong encryption.
