All of the major accomplishments that I have made in my career have been in many instances against the odds.

I believe in traditional marriage and I believe in the Defense of Marriage Act.

They say African Americans. I say black people. I've only been to Africa once. I've been in America all my life!

I can connect with peoples' pain because I was 'po' before I was 'poor'.

I am suspending my presidential campaign.

My presence in the social media and on the Internet is much bigger than many of the other candidates, including Mitt Romney. So, when you take the social media and you take the Tea Party citizens movement, you have a combination there that, quite frankly, 10 years ago, I wouldn't have had a chance.

When all else fails the liberals call you names or attack your personality.
