To say America can have strong leadership without strong character is to say we can get water without the wet.

Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.

Good policy makes good politics and what I've done has been good politics.

The more I ponder some of the boneheaded decisions GOP candidates have made of late, I can't bring myself to believe that they are serious about capturing more than about 8 percent of the black vote.

Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes. If Congress was serious about reparations - in '93 and '94 the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House, and not one single Republican vote was needed for reparations.

It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

I would caution all of us or I would remind all of us that any candidate that we support, they are going to be flawed.
