We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more.

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

I have always gone through public life and saying that with respect to political candidates, I always measure each candidate against what I think the country needs at that time, and I will vote for the person I think who is most qualified to serve the nation at that time.

It isn’t enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflecting this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'

A sense of shame is not a bad moral compass.

What you’re seeing with Occupy Wall Street and the others are people who are unhappy and they’re directing their unhappiness now toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.

Leaders honor their core values, but they are flexible in how they execute them.
