I believe strongly that we should have nominees to the United States Supreme Court based on their qualifications rather than any litmus test.

I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do.

I'm as frustrated with the French, I think, as anyone, but look, there's going to be other challenges and there are going to be other issues. As long as there's a war on terrorism going on, we're all going to have to work together.

I say to our enemies: We are coming. God may have mercy on you, but we won't

We've got to start also holding people accountable, and we've got to reward people who succeed. But somehow in Washington today - and I'm afraid on Wall Street - greed is rewarded, excess is rewarded, and corruption - or certainly failure to carry out our responsibility is rewarded.

Some of us are more favorably disposed than others.

Right now there’s kind of a generational change. Young Americans do not trust this government. Without trusting government you can't do a lot of things.
