Over the summer I thought that I would seek out non-Americans as friends, just for diversity's sake. Now I find that I want to be around Americans - people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am.

Of course [I'm a feminist]. And everyone I know is a feminist.

My parents taught me to approach the world critically, but also to approach it with a sense of responsibility.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

When my father announced his campaign for president on Oct. 3, 1991, I had already cast my vote in favor of his candidacy.

We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.

I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me.
