I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young; I liked them when I was middle-age; I liked them before I was President; and I like them during President; and I like them after President.

God told me to smite Osama bin Laden, so I invaded Afghanistan. Then He told me to smite Saddam Hussein, so I invaded Iraq. Now He wants me to work on the Middle East problem.

I'd also remind people, if I were running for Presidency, that a long-term problem facing the budget is Social Security and Medicare.

From a philosophical perspective, I want to fight off isolationism and protectionism, be it part of another voice out there that says, wait a minute, what matters to women in Afghanistan matters to America. An isolationist point of view says it doesn't matter. The articulation of "all life matters" helps frame the case that it does matter what happens to a woman in Afghanistan.

After the bombing, most Iraqis saw what the perpetuators of this attack were trying to do.

I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating.

What I'm telling you is there's too many junk lawsuits suing too many doctors.
