I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

You people married to Italian men, you know what it's like.

I readily admit I was not an expert on foreign policy but I was knowledgeable and I didn't need a man who was the Vice President of the United States and my opponent turning around and putting me down.

I am the first to admit that were I not a woman, I would not have been the vice-presidential nominee.

We were so shocked by how fast that war went that President Bush did not have a plan, a peace plan.

But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.

I think Obama was terribly sexist.
