We owe something to the government to grow up in this great country. I'm tired of hearing people in the private sector talk like they don't owe the government anything. We do. This is a great country because we all pay into it. It's about time we all pay into it. ... If we paid the same amount of taxes we paid when Bill Clinton was president, I would be a happy guy, and the budget would be closer to balanced. You cannot give away money, whether you give it to rich or poor people. That's what George Bush did -- excuse me, trillions of dollars. You can't do that.

We won when we toppled Saddam. That was the only clear goal of this war, to topple the Iraqi government. It took about 10 minutes.

What I want to do more than anything as president of the United States is to restore the honor and dignity and respect that this country is owed around the world.

Luckily, I'm a governor - so I get to tell you what I've already done not just what I'm going to do.

I think the recovery hasn't been stronger because the hole that was dug for President Obama by the Bush administration was far worse than anybody could imagine, first of all.

The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong.

The corporatization of the press really has hurt the press.
