I'm offering myself up. I'm saying that if I have the background, the capability and the concern to do this and I'm doing this for the right reasons... but I'm not particularly interested in running for president, but I think I'd make a good president. Nowadays, the process has become much more important than I think it used to be.

You can't buy peace by just wishing it and avoiding the challenges that other nations present to you.

Hopefully, we can build bridges, but we also have to draw lines.

Let's not overlook, though, what we do know about the campaign finance scandal, and the fact the Chinese were involved in our presidential campaign and our congressional campaigns.

Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan.

I'm not above acting like a seal every once in a while and waiting for the next fish, I just don't want to do it all the time.

In the end, we may be hurting the very people we should be concerned about - the inner-city poor, those who already have to live with many risks in their daily lives, those who do not have clout here in Washington.
