President Obama is a utopian at heart. He wants to improve the lives of the downtrodden, which is a good thing.

The nation's crushing debt is a tsunami brewing off shore.

In a country where people's attention span is short and they are holding the clicker in their hand, and they got a hundred other options, you have to basically understand what the audience is responding to. If you don't, you're going to fail.

Lotsa people want to hurt me. That's the price you pay for being a big mouth.
