I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

A lot of the reason why the debate is acrimonious is because of the 24/7 news cycles, blogs, and people being able to just throw something out there in order to get attention. And I'm not going be out there doing the same thing, trying to trash my successor or call attention to myself. I hope that's a positive contribution to the dialogue.

Reading history while you make history can teach you a lot.

Hopefully I'm not a grumpy old guy sitting in the corner, yelling at people and demanding things.

Life really is a series of contrasts.

Most people in America understand that the rich people hire good accountants and figure out how not to necessarily pay all the taxes.

I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound perch in my lake.
