My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.

I try to make it a rule not to meddle in other people's politics.

Environmentalism is not an upper-income issue, it's not a white issue, it's not a black issue, it's not a South or a North or an East or a West issue. It's an issue that all of us have a stake in. And if I can do anything to make sure that not just my daughter but every child in America has green pastures to run in and clean air to breathe and clean water to swim in, then that is something I'm going to work my hardest to make happen.

Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals.

These days, the House Republicans actually give John Boehner a harder time than they give me. Which means orange really is the new black.

I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago

When we start using religion as a bludgeon in politics, when we start questioning other people's faith, we start using religion to divide, instead of bring the country together, then I think we've got a problem.
