I am not a spokesperson for the church and the church is not a spokesperson for the United States of America.

I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.

I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional America is.

Unlike George Bush and his friends at the big oil companies, I'm going to work for a real energy policy for this country that decreases America's dependence on foreign oil and helps lower the costs to American families.

You'd be amazed at the number of people who want to introduce themselves to you in the men's room. It's the most bizarre part of this entire thing.

America has an ability to try to make some things happen that other countries don't necessarily have.

I think the United States is still the indispensable force for positive change and for rule of law and for order and structure.
