But I'm mindful in a free society that people can worship if they want to or not. You're equally an American if you choose to worship an Almighty and if you choose not to. If you're a Christian, Jew or Muslim you're equally an American. That's the great thing about America is the right to worship the way you see fit. Prayer and religion sustain me. I receive calmness in the storms of the presidency. I love the fact that people pray for me and my family all around the country. Somebody asked me one time, how do you know? I said I just feel it.

States should have the right to enact laws... particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.

I understand politics and I know there's gonna be a lot of verbage.

History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.

I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.

Tony Blair made decisions on what he thought was best for the people of Great Britain, and I made decisions on what I thought was best for Americans. And I really don't view our relationship as one of quid pro quo. I view our relationship as one of strong allies and friends working together for the common good.

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