I think President Obama is going to be a one-term president.

I want to avoid personal attacks, ... I promise not to make fun of your singing.

The good Lord didn't see fit to put oil and gas only where there are democratic regimes friendly to the United States.

I worship the ground Paul Ryan walks on.

After 9/11 we were prepared to use military force. We were prepared to go after not only the terrorists, but those who sponsor terror and provide sanctuary and safe harbor for them. We were prepared to use our intelligence assets the way we would against an enemy that threatened the United States itself, to put in place, for example, things like the Terror Surveillance Program and to have a robust interrogation program on detainees. Those are the acts you take when you feel you're at war and that the very existence of the nation is threatened.

I can't think of a time when we've had a region emerge as suddenly to become as strategically significant as the Caspian.

I think, in fact, the situation with respect to al Qaeda, to say that, you know, that was a big attack we had on 9/11, but it's not likely again, I just think that's dead wrong. I think the biggest strategic threat the United States faces today is the possibility of another 9/11 with a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some kind. And I think al Qaeda is out there even as we meet, trying to figure out how to do that.
