Politics is not bean bags. It's serious, tough stuff.

Leaders have followers. The primary role of a leader is to convey to those followers a sense of purpose, vision, and mission.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Let's not forget that Congress bears a lot of responsibility for many of the problems we have now

I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches.
