Look at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.

Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable.

Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

It's not just a matter of whether you support Obama or Romney. It's who they have coming with them. I always keep my powder dry, as they say in the military.

Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are not assertions. These are facts, corroborated by many sources, some of them sources of the intelligence services of other countries.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
