I was angry. I was kind of looking for a fight. I didn't want to talk to you guys in the press, because initially, understandably, all they wanted to talk to me about was, you know, what does it feel like?

As a matter of fact, I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.

Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

You want to know whether we're better off? I've got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!

A lucky person gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they're about to do and thinks it still matters.

Stand up, Chuck, let them see you.

Just talk to me as a father ... not what the Constitution says. What do you feel?
