I hear a lot of talk about civil war. I'm concerned about that, of course. And I've talked to a lot of people about it. And what I've found from my talks are that the Iraqis want a unified country and that the Iraqi leadership is determined to thwart the efforts of the extremists and the radicals.

This is my maiden voyage. My first speech since I was the president of the United States and I couldn't think of a better place to give it than Calgary, Canada.

I'm content because I'm a busy person.

Sometimes armchair quarterbacks are doing it to enhance their own image. I'm just not comfortable with that idea.

I have written a book. This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn't think I could read, much less write.

There's also consumer debt, the credit card debt that burdens many of the working families in America. Yes, we talk about national debt, and we're paying a lot down. But you're fixing to hear me tell you part of the remedy for people who have got a lot of credit card debt is to make sure people get some of their own money back.

I'm a content person and I'm content knowing that I gave it my all when I was president.
