It is the fault of the United States that these terrible people, these insurgents and terrorists are out there. They are the ones that we ought to be focusing our energy on defeating and not just wring our hands about the fact that it's going to be difficult.

How can we be enemies when there is so much that pulls us together? But in general I found that I had to work with each one of my foreign colleagues in a way that was consistent with their system. Some are democracies, some are not.

I have found that leadership is leadership is leadership. It applies whether you are in government or in corporate life or in non-profit life.

I want to see policies that encourage every American to vote, not make it more difficult to vote.

You should never be so involved with your position/job that when the position is gone your entire self image is gone with it.

I have seen many organizations where there is this sense of purpose in the headquarters but it never gets cascaded down to everybody within the organization.
